Image Compression vs Resizing
Resizing changes the pixel dimensions of an image (width × height), while compression reduces the file size by applying algorithms that remove or simplify data. Our tool does both: you can resize to smaller dimensions AND adjust quality to compress the file further. For best results, resize to the exact dimensions you need, then use JPG or WebP format with 80-90% quality for an optimal balance of size and visual quality.

Privacy — Your Images Stay Local
Unlike many online image resizers, our tool processes everything in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images are never uploaded to any server. No tracking, no storage, no privacy concerns. This makes it safe for resizing sensitive documents, personal photos, or confidential images.
FAQ
What's the maximum image size? — There's no hard limit, but very large images (over 50MB) may be slow. For best results, use images under 20MB.
Will resizing reduce quality? — Downsizing (making smaller) generally preserves quality well. Upscaling (making larger) will reduce quality as the image is stretched.
Can I resize multiple images at once? — Currently, one image at a time. Resize each image individually for precise control.
What's WebP format? — WebP is a modern image format that provides 25-35% smaller files than JPG at equivalent quality. Supported by all modern browsers.
