Question 1

How do I reduce an image's file size without wrecking the quality?

Accepted Answer

Use the image compressor and let it re-encode the photo with a modern codec (MozJPEG for JPG, libwebp for WebP). These squeeze out far more redundancy than a plain 'save' does, so you can often cut a file by 60–80% with no visible difference. If you need to hit a specific limit, say under 2 MB for an upload form, compress toward a target size and preview the result before you download. WebP typically gives the smallest file at a given quality. Keep JPG when you need the widest compatibility.

Question 2

Which format should I use, JPG, PNG or WebP?

Accepted Answer

Use JPG for photographs where small size matters and you don't need transparency. Use PNG for graphics, logos, screenshots and anything with sharp edges or a transparent background. Use WebP when you control where the image is shown (your own site or app) and want the best quality-to-size ratio. It beats both, but a few older tools still don't read it. You can convert freely between all three here without re-shooting or re-exporting from a design app.

Question 3

Are my images uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Every image tool here runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your photos are processed on your own device and never uploaded, logged or stored. That makes it safe to compress or crop sensitive images like IDs, medical scans or receipts: nothing leaves your computer.

Question 4

What's the right way to resize an image for social media or a profile photo?

Accepted Answer

Resize to the platform's recommended pixel dimensions rather than guessing, then let the tool downscale with high-quality Lanczos resampling so the result stays sharp. For a square profile photo, crop to a 1:1 ratio first, then resize. Avoid upscaling a small source to fit a large slot: enlarging invents detail that isn't there. Start from the highest-resolution original you have.

Question 5

Does compressing or converting an image remove its hidden metadata?

Accepted Answer

Re-encoding usually drops most EXIF data (including GPS location) as a side effect, but don't rely on that if privacy matters. Use the dedicated metadata remover to strip EXIF, GPS and camera details deliberately before you post a photo publicly, it's the reliable way to make sure a screenshot or holiday snap isn't quietly broadcasting where it was taken.

Question 6

Can I sharpen or enlarge a small, blurry image?

Accepted Answer

The image upscaler can enlarge a small picture and reconstruct plausible detail, which helps with low-resolution logos or thumbnails. It works best on clean sources. A heavily compressed or motion-blurred photo has less to recover. For print, aim to start at the true resolution you need rather than upscaling as a last resort.
