Image Tools

Images are often the reason a webpage loads slowly, an email bounces for being too large, or a file won't upload to a form with strict size limits. This category handles the everyday image problems that come up outside of a full photo editor: shrinking a file without visibly hurting quality, resizing to exact dimensions, converting between formats (including newer ones like HEIC and SVG), and removing a background. Several of these tools process your image directly in your browser rather than uploading it to a server, which is faster and keeps the file local to your device.

If a file is too large in kilobytes/megabytes, use Image Compressor. If it's the wrong dimensions in pixels, use Image Resizer. If it's the wrong file type for where you're uploading it (a website that needs JPG, not HEIC from an iPhone; a print shop that needs PNG, not SVG), use Image Converter or the specific format-pair tool (HEIC to JPG, SVG to PNG). If you need the subject isolated from its background — for a product photo or a profile picture — use Background Remover.

• Compressing an already-compressed JPG repeatedly — each JPG re-save loses a little quality; if you need to compress again, start from the original file if you still have it.
• Resizing an image up (making it bigger) and expecting the same sharpness — enlarging can't add detail that wasn't in the original; it will look softer or blurrier.
• Converting a photo to SVG expecting a clean vector — SVG is meant for line art/logos, not photographs; photos stay raster no matter the container format.
• Not checking background-removal results on images with hair, fur, or fine edges — these are the hardest case for automatic background removal and sometimes need manual touch-up.
