What it is for
Phone cameras have improved so much that quality is no longer the problem, weight is. An ordinary photo runs to four or five megabytes, more than many forms accept and considerably more than a web page needs to look perfectly sharp.
On top of that come the usual jobs: cropping what does not belong, hitting exact dimensions, changing format because the destination will not take the one you have. And one almost nobody considers until it is too late, which is what photos carry hidden inside: the date, the phone model and, very often, the GPS coordinates of where they were taken.
These tools cover those needs without installing anything and without the image leaving your machine. That matters particularly in this section, because a photograph usually contains more private information than it appears to.
Which tool do I need
- The photo is too heavy to send
- Compress image reduces the weight by adjusting quality. Between 70 and 80 usually cuts the size a lot with no visible difference.
- They are asking for specific pixel dimensions
- Resize image applies exactly the width and height you enter. Work out the ratio first so it does not distort.
- I only want to keep part of it
- Crop image keeps the area you define by coordinates and discards the rest, which leaves the file entirely.
- They will not accept the format I have
- Convert image moves between JPG, PNG and WebP. WebP usually gives the smallest size; PNG is the one that preserves transparency.
- I am about to publish a photo and worry about privacy
- Remove metadata strips the GPS location and camera data. If something identifiable is also visible in the image, pixelate it.
- I need the colours from an image
- Extract colours returns the six dominant tones with their HEX codes, ready to use in a design.
Frequently asked questions
Do I lose quality using these tools?
Only when compressing, which is precisely its purpose, and you control how much. Cropping, rotating and stripping metadata do not noticeably degrade the image.
Which format suits a website?
WebP in almost every case: considerably lighter than JPG at equivalent quality, and every current browser displays it.
Do my photos really carry my location?
Many do. If the phone had location services on, the photo stores the exact coordinates. You can check in the file properties.
Can I process several images at once?
These tools work on one image at a time. For large batches a desktop program is more suitable.
