Which image tool do you need?
Most image jobs come down to one of three problems: the file is too big, it is the wrong shape, or it is in a format something will not accept. Start from the problem and the right tool is usually obvious.
The file is too big
- If a website or email just needs a lighter photo, use Compress Image. Its quality slider lets you trade a little detail for a much smaller file, and 75% is a safe default.
- If an application form names an exact limit, such as “under 20 KB” or “max 50 KB”, use Compress Image to 20KB. You type the limit and it finds the sharpest version that fits, so you do not have to guess.
- If the image is several thousand pixels wide, Resize Image first. Halving the width and height removes three quarters of the pixels, which shrinks the file more than any quality setting.
The image is the wrong shape
- Crop Image cuts away the edges, either freehand or to a fixed ratio like 1:1 for a profile picture or 16:9 for a banner.
- Passport Photo Maker crops a head-and-shoulders photo to official sizes such as 35 × 45 mm or 2 × 2 inches.
