How this tool works & sources
Your browser decodes JPEG, PNG or still WebP with its orientation, then resamples it using Canvas. Fit preserves the whole photo and avoids enlarging it; center crop fills your chosen dimensions. JPEG fills transparent areas with white. Animated WebP is rejected; animated PNG uses its default image only.
JPEG/WebP target size is found by trying quality levels from your setting down to 10%. PNG is lossless and ignores quality. If the target is impossible, the actual achievable size is shown with a smaller-dimensions option. Always inspect legibility.
Input: up to 20 MiB, 24 megapixels and 12,000 px per side. Output: up to 16 megapixels. Re-encoding does not copy EXIF metadata. Photo contents may still contain identifying details. Close or clear this page to release the selected file.
