Drop a picture. The smaller file is saved on this device and is not kept here.
A lower number makes a smaller, softer picture.
File type
A safe choice for photos.
Picture size
The long side, in pixels. As is keeps the size.
Why this exists
A photo often only needs to be smaller before you send it. You do not install a program or upload the picture.
Quality, format, and the long edge sit on one screen, and a change builds the file again. There is no account.

01How to use it
Drop the pictures or choose them. Pick JPEG, WebP, or PNG, then set the quality and the long edge.
Each picture gets its own save. Changing the quality or the format builds that setting again.
The long edge can stay as it is, or be limited to 2560, 1920, or 1280 pixels. Past 8192 pixels it is brought inside that limit so the browser can open it.

02What you get
JPEG at 82 with a 1920 long edge fits the long side inside 1920 and saves at quality 82. WebP uses the same number and is often smaller.
PNG is saved without the quality number. A transparent picture saved as JPEG is filled with white. A GIF keeps one still frame.

03Worth knowing
HEIC and HEIF open only when this browser can decode them. A file that is not a picture, and a file over 25MB, are refused.
An animated GIF does not stay animated. A mark already in the picture is not removed, and a video is not turned into a picture.
If the new file is larger and the pixel size did not change, the original is the file you can save.
The file stays on the device you are using. There is no library to open later.
Questions
- QDoes this need an account?
- ANo. There is no sign-in and no app. The page opens in the browser.
- QDoes the picture stay on a server?
- ANo. The browser reads it, and the file is saved to your device.
- QWhat about transparency?
- APNG and WebP can keep it. JPEG fills the empty parts with white.
- QWill a small file get smaller?
- ANot always. If the new file is larger at the same pixel size, the original stays.
