Questions about Image Tools

What image formats do the image tools support?

The image tools work with the most common formats used on the web and in everyday workflows: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. The format converter handles switching between any of these. WebP is the recommended output for web use because it produces smaller files than JPG or PNG at the same visual quality.

Do the image tools upload my files to a server?

No. Every image tool on this page processes your file directly in your browser using your own device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored after you close the tab. This means your photos and graphics stay private even when you use tools like Background Remover or EXIF Data Remover.

What is the difference between compressing and resizing an image?

Compressing reduces the file size by removing data the eye is unlikely to notice, while keeping the dimensions the same. Resizing changes the pixel width and height of the image. For the smallest possible file, resize the image to its final display size first, then compress it. The Image Resizer and Image Compressor work well together in that order.

How do I remove a background from an image online for free?

Open the Background Remover tool, upload your image, and the tool will detect and remove the background automatically. The result downloads as a PNG with a transparent background. This is useful for product photos, profile pictures, and design assets where you need the subject placed on a different colour or background.

What is EXIF data and should I remove it before sharing photos?

EXIF data is metadata embedded in photo files by cameras and phones. It can include the GPS coordinates where the photo was taken, the device model, the date and time, and camera settings. Before posting photos publicly online, it is a good idea to strip this metadata using the EXIF Data Remover to protect your location and device information.

How do I convert an image to WebP for my website?

Open the Image to WebP Converter, upload your JPG or PNG file, and download the WebP output. WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPG and PNG at the same quality level, which speeds up page load times. Most modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari — fully support WebP, so it is safe to use as the primary image format on any current website.

Can I add a watermark to my photos without Photoshop?

Yes. The Image Watermark Tool lets you upload a photo, type your watermark text, choose the position, and download the result — no Photoshop or account needed. This is useful for photographers, content creators, and businesses that want to protect images before sharing them online.

What is the best way to make a GIF from a video clip?

Use the Video to GIF Converter. Upload a short video clip, select the portion you want to turn into a GIF, and download the result. GIFs work well for short animations, product previews, and social media content. Keep the clip under 5–10 seconds for a manageable file size — longer GIFs become very large very quickly.
