Image jobs usually come down to three questions: is the file small enough, is it the right shape, and is it in a format the destination accepts? These tools answer each one separately so you can see exactly what changed.
Re-save one image as JPEG or PNG, tune the JPEG quality, and shrink the pixel size anywhere from 100% down to 20%. A smaller file is the usual result, not a guarantee.
Open toolEnter an exact width and height in pixels, keep the original proportions, or pick 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or 3:2. The result downloads as PNG and is stretched, not cropped, to fit a preset.
Open toolDrag a crop box over your picture or type exact pixels, lock a ratio such as 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9, rotate or flip, and make a round profile picture. Saves as PNG, JPG or WebP.
Open toolConvert JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or BMP pictures to PNG, JPG or WebP right in the browser tab. Handy for WebP downloads that will not open or upload anywhere.
Open toolRead text out of photos, screenshots, scanned pages, and receipts with OCR that runs on your own device, so there is no upload step. Clear, well-lit images give the best results.
Open toolAdjust brightness and contrast, or apply grayscale, sepia, blur and invert effects, with a live preview. Everything is drawn on a browser canvas, so your picture stays on your device.
Open toolCrop a portrait to common passport and visa sizes, including US 2x2 inch, and lay copies out on a printable 4x6 sheet. Always confirm the final photo against your country's official photo rules before submitting.
Open toolClear away plain, single-color backgrounds from product shots and logos and save the result as a transparent PNG. It works best on simple backgrounds; busy scenes will need manual cleanup.
Open toolEverything is drawn on an HTML canvas in your browser. That means the original photo never has to be uploaded, and it also means the output is a fresh re-encode: EXIF data such as camera model and GPS location is not carried over, which is usually what you want before sharing a picture.
For text inside pictures, the OCR tool runs a recognition engine on your device. It works best on sharp, well-lit, straight-on images; handwriting and low-contrast photos will need checking by hand.
