Questions

What size should photos be for a website?

For most websites, up to 2,000 pixels wide is plenty, even on a big screen, and a photo that size is usually a few hundred KB. A photo straight from a phone is often 4,000 pixels wide and several MB. Smaller pictures, such as thumbnails, need even less.

Will my photos look worse?

Not on screen. The copies are saved at a quality that looks the same on a website. Keep your originals for printing.

What's the difference between resizing and compressing?

Resizing makes the picture fewer pixels across. Compressing saves it more efficiently, so the file is smaller. This tool does both at once.

Can I use iPhone photos (HEIC)?

Yes. They're turned into JPEG or WebP, which every website can show.

JPEG or WebP?

JPEG works everywhere. WebP is usually smaller again, and most website builders accept it now, but check yours does before you switch.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to us or kept.
