Four views share one tab bar. Compress re-encodes JPG or PNG to a lighter file, Resize scales to exact pixels with an aspect lock, Crop frames to ratios like 1:1 or 16:9, and Border adds a solid mat or keyline. A typical run compresses a 4.2 MB photo to about 900 KB at 80 percent, then resizes it to 1200 by 900 for a page.
No. Every view reads files locally and draws on canvas in your browser, so images are never uploaded. Inputs up to 10 MB and 8192 pixels per side stay on your device, and the working data clears when you close the tab, keeping client portraits and unreleased products confidential.
Resize when dimensions overshoot their slot, such as a 4000-pixel capture shown at 1200, since that saves the most bytes. Compress when dimensions already fit but the file stays heavy, like 2 MB down near 300 KB at 75 percent. Combine both: scale first for sharpness, then compress the result for the lightest payload.
Compression offers Light, Medium and Strong levels; lighter settings keep small visual loss, so 80 percent suits photos and 90 percent suits text. Resizing preserves apparent sharpness when downscaling but cannot invent detail when enlarging. Crop and Border leave source pixels untouched, so a 24-pixel mat only widens the canvas by 48 pixels.
Crop offers 1:1 for avatars, 16:9 for banners, 4:3 for posts and custom pixel boxes, with drag, zoom and flip, exporting PNG, JPG or WebP. Compress and Border output JPG or PNG, and Resize exports PNG. Transparency survives in PNG or WebP but fills with white if you export a transparent image as JPG.
Use JPG for photographs, PNG for logos, line diagrams and translucent overlays, and WebP for lightweight web images with alpha. A 2 MB JPG often drops near 300 KB at 75 percent, while a PNG screenshot shrinks only modestly because it is already lossless. Convert between formats with the separate image format converter when a portal demands a specific type.
Four views centralize everyday image jobs in one offline page. Compress quantizes a photo without changing its width and height, Resize sets exact pixels with an aspect lock to avoid stretched faces, Crop frames to 1:1, 16:9 or custom boxes, and Border surrounds pixels with a solid mat. A common run takes a 4.2 MB portrait down near 900 KB at 80 percent, resizes it to 1200 by 900 and adds a 24-pixel white frame. Benchmark table: compress 2 MB to 300 KB at 75 percent | resize 4000 by 3000 to 1200 by 900 | crop 1080 by 1080 avatar | border 1200 by 900 plus 24-pixel mat equals 1248 by 948.
Compression aggression tracks the quality slider: 90 percent keeps typographic crispness for infographics, 80 percent balances detail against payload, and 70 percent introduces mottling across skies and skin. Resizing down preserves apparent sharpness while enlarging cannot invent detail, and pixels divided by print inches set effective DPI. Crop ratio locks stop skew during dragging, and Border expands the canvas symmetrically so source pixels remain untouched. Limitation: PNG screenshots shrink only modestly because they are lossless, transparency fills with white in JPG, and panoramas beyond 8192 pixels downscale on import to protect memory.
For a portal upload: open a 4.2 MB photo, resize to 1200 by 900 with the lock on, compress to 80 percent near 900 KB, then crop the 1:1 avatar for the profile. Edge case: cropping before resizing keeps subjects sharp and bytes low, while adding a border after cropping avoids shrinking the frame. If a form demands a specific type, convert with the image format converter first, and for vector marks use the SVG optimizer or SVG to PNG converter.
