About Image tools

Image tools cover compression, format conversion, cropping, resizing, rotation, watermarking and favicon generation. They drive the Canvas and codec stack built into your browser, so speed depends on your device. Compression and conversion render a live preview, and the size-versus-quality balance moves as you drag the slider.

Photos often carry location data, device details or sensitive content, and uploading one hands a copy to another server. Here the file stays on your device from selection to download, and the tools keep working offline once loaded. JPG, PNG and WebP are supported for both input and output.

How to choose the right Image

  1. Pick the operation by goal

    Smaller file: compress. Different format: convert. Different dimensions: resize. Crop and rotate fix framing. Mixing operations costs quality and bytes at once.

  2. Judge compression by quality

    Quality 70-85 is usually the balance point: above it the file barely shrinks, below it artifacts appear. Compare the preview with the original before committing.

  3. Mind transparency when converting

    PNG to JPG flattens transparency onto a white background. If you need alpha, convert to WebP or stay with PNG; icons and screenshots deserve extra care.

  4. Test one image before batching

    Run a representative image through first and confirm quality and size, then apply the same settings to the whole batch. Fixing one image beats redoing all of them.

Common image mistakes

  1. Format decides quality

    Quality comes from the source and the settings. Saving a blurry photo as PNG does not sharpen it, and high-quality JPEG cannot recover crushed detail.

  2. Compression always ruins images

    Lossy formats trade detail for size at a chosen quality; lossless formats shrink without touching pixels. The right format halves most images invisibly.

  3. Bigger pixels are sharper

    At a fixed display size, extra pixels only add weight. Size for the use (1200 px wide suits most pages), then tune quality.
