# Resize images so they don’t slow a page down

> Resize photos to a web-friendly max width in your browser. Keep aspect ratio. No upload.

Camera files are often 5000 pixels wide. Your article column is 720. Serving the camera file wastes bandwidth even if you later compress it. Cap the width here, then encode.

## How to start

1. Drop the oversized photos.
2. Set max width to 1200 or 1600. Leave percent empty unless you want a relative scale.
3. JPG or WebP at ~0.85 is enough for article photos.
4. Put the result in your CMS. Do not also upload the 12 MB original “just in case” to the same slot.

## Notes

- Never upscale a 400px logo to 1200. It will look soft.
- A consistent width across a gallery looks more intentional.
- After resize, if bytes are still high, run Compress or convert to WebP.

## Price

Always free. There is no account, no paid tier, and no watermark.

## What this site does not do

- There is no upload API, no account, and no paid tier. Photos are not sent to or stored by the site.
- Output formats are JPG, PNG, WebP, and still GIF. SVG can be opened as an input and saved as PNG with transparency.
- HEIC and HEIF can be opened in current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. A local decoder runs in the tab when the browser cannot decode HEIC itself. AVIF stills can be opened in current browsers.
- There is no convert-to-HEIC. Animated AVIF is not supported. GIF output is a still picture. An animated GIF becomes one frame.
- This site does not make PDFs. For converting images into a PDF, use JPG to PDF on [❤️ LoveThisPDF](https://lovethispdf.com/tools/jpg-to-pdf), which also runs in the browser.
- It does not add Content Credentials (C2PA). It can strip them on Remove EXIF & GPS.
- Converting JPG to PNG keeps the picture opaque. Remove background can clear one flat colour.

## Requirements

Any phone, tablet, or computer with a browser. Nothing to install. HEIC and AVIF convert in current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. A decoder runs in this tab when the browser cannot open HEIC itself. Very old browsers may still need a JPG from the iPhone. Very large images may fail if the device runs out of memory. Results can differ between browsers because encoders (especially WebP and JPEG quality) are implemented by the browser vendor.
