Resizing and compressing are two different levers, and you often need both: resizing changes an image's pixel dimensions, while compression reduces file size at the current dimensions. This tool does both in one pass, so you can scale a photo down to the exact width a site or form requires and then squeeze the file size for fast loading. That combination is what actually gets an oversized camera image under an upload limit without looking soft. Set your target dimensions, choose a compression level, and download a right-sized, lightweight image. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos never get uploaded while you optimize them.

## How it works

1. **Upload Images** — Select or drag and drop images you want to compress
2. **Adjust Quality** — Set your preferred quality level to balance size and appearance
3. **Download** — Get your compressed images with significantly reduced file sizes

## Use cases

- **Website Images**: Resize and compress photos for fast pages
- **Upload Limits**: Fit images under portal size and dimension caps
- **Profile Pictures**: Scale and shrink avatars to required sizes
- **Email-Friendly Photos**: Make camera images small enough to send

## Tips

- **Resize Then Compress**: Scale to the dimensions you need first, then compress for the smallest file.
- **Keep Aspect Ratio**: Lock the ratio so resizing doesn't stretch or squash the image.
- **Hit Upload Limits**: Combine both steps to slip under strict size caps without going blurry.
- **Watch Quality**: Preview after compressing to make sure detail still holds up.

## FAQ

### What's the difference between resize and compress?

Resizing changes the pixel dimensions; compression reduces file size at the current dimensions. This tool does both.

### Can I do both at once?

Yes. Set target dimensions and a compression level, then download a resized, compressed image in one pass.

### Will it keep the aspect ratio?

Yes, you can lock the ratio so the image isn't stretched when resized.

### Are my photos uploaded?

No. Both operations run in your browser, so your images stay private.

## Problems solved

- Images both too big and too heavy
- Strict dimension and size limits
- Slow-loading website photos
- Camera images too large to send

## Stats

- **2-in-1** resize + compress
