Create smaller public copies locally
Photos and screenshots can include locations, private UI, unreleased products, people, and metadata. Browser-based image tools let you prepare a copy for upload or publishing without sending the source file away for simple work.
Start with the job: compress for email, resize for a form, convert for compatibility, crop for framing, or remove EXIF before public sharing.
- Compress and resize copies instead of overwriting originals.
- Convert formats based on transparency, quality, and compatibility.
- Remove EXIF before posting public photos.
Use the right tool for the image type
Photos usually tolerate moderate lossy compression. Screenshots, icons, and graphics with text need sharper output and sometimes a lossless format. Transparent images need PNG, WebP, AVIF, or SVG rather than JPG.
When a platform recompresses images, a correctly sized source file usually produces a cleaner final result than a huge original uploaded directly.
Review visible details before sharing
Metadata cleanup does not hide visible addresses, names, browser tabs, notifications, faces, or license plates. Crop and review the exported copy before using it on public pages or social platforms.
