Image tools

Compress, resize and convert — your photos stay on your device

Phone photos are routinely three to eight megabytes, which is far more than an email limit, an upload form or a web page needs. These tools shrink, resize and convert images using your browser's own image engine, so nothing is uploaded and there is no waiting for a transfer. They are also honest about their limits: compression never hands back a file bigger than the one you gave it, and resizing never enlarges an image, because that only adds blur.

What people use these for

  • Shrink a photo to fit an upload limit or send it faster
  • Resize to exact pixel dimensions while keeping the proportions
  • Convert between JPG, PNG and WebP for whatever the destination accepts
  • Prepare a set of images before combining them into a PDF

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my photo get?
A typical phone photo of three to eight megabytes usually lands between a fifth and a half of its original size at a quality no one notices on a screen, because most of that weight is fine detail a display never resolves. The honest exception is a file that is already well compressed: re-encoding it would make it bigger, so the tool keeps your original and tells you it did rather than handing back a worse file with a smaller-sounding claim.
How do I get an image under an exact size limit?
Use the compress-to-size tool, which takes a target in kilobytes rather than a vague quality setting. It searches quality levels and, when quality alone cannot reach the target, reduces the dimensions too — then tells you what it did. This exists because upload forms, Indian government portals especially, do not ask you to compress an image; they refuse it until it is under a stated number.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Every image is decoded and re-encoded by your browser's own image engine, so nothing is transferred and nothing waits in a queue. That also means the tools are as fast as your device rather than as fast as your connection, and a batch of twenty images finishes without a single byte leaving your machine.
Which format should I convert to?
JPG for photographs and for anything old software has to open. PNG when you need transparency or crisp edges on text and screenshots. WebP when the destination is a modern website and file size matters — it is typically a good deal smaller than JPG at matching quality. Converting a file that is already in the target format passes it through untouched rather than re-encoding it and losing quality for nothing.
