About Image Tools
Image Tools handles common photo and graphic prep work in the browser: reducing file size, changing dimensions, and converting formats. The live set is Image Compressor, Image Resizer, and Image Converter — all canvas-based, with previews where the tool provides them.
Useful when you need a smaller upload for a CMS, a social-sized crop target, or a different format without opening a desktop editor for a single file.
When to use which tool
- Image Compressor — keep (or lightly change) format while lowering size via quality and optional max width/height; best when the pixel size is mostly fine but the bytes are not.
- Image Resizer — change exact pixels, scale by percentage, or apply presets; output stays in the original format. Use this when dimensions are the main requirement.
- Image Converter — change format (e.g. PNG→JPG, WebP↔PNG, or decode BMP/GIF/TIFF when the browser supports it). Use this when the portal requires a specific type.
- Need both smaller bytes and a new format? Convert (or compress with format switch) after you know the required type. Need PDF packaging instead? Use PDF Tools after you have the image you want.
Common use cases
- Shrink a phone photo so it meets a 2 MB job-application upload limit.
- Resize a logo or banner to a required pixel width before publishing.
- Convert a PNG with transparency to JPG when a form rejects transparent images.
- Turn a decoded TIFF or BMP into PNG or JPG for everyday sharing.
Privacy & processing
Compression, resizing, and conversion decode and re-encode images locally with your browser’s canvas APIs. ToolsArk does not upload your image to a server for these operations.
Previews and output blobs stay in the browser session until you download or clear the tool. Individual tool pages spell out format-specific behavior (for example, transparency filled with white on JPG).
Limitations
- Typical input ceiling is 20 MB per image.
- Compressor and Resizer accept JPG, PNG, and WebP; Converter also attempts BMP, GIF, and TIFF when the browser can decode them.
- Output formats depend on browser encoding support — WebP, PNG, or BMP export may be unavailable on older browsers.
- GIF animation is not preserved when converting to a static format; very large canvases can hit browser memory or dimension safety limits.
Tips
- If Compressor rejects a TIFF or BMP, convert to PNG or JPG first, then compress.
- Lock aspect ratio in Resizer unless you intentionally need a stretched result.
- PDF Tools — when the final deliverable must be a PDF
