Image workflow

Image converter and compressor workflow

Convert, compress, resize, and review images in the browser before using them on pages, posts, or documents.

Start with the final use

The best image format and size depend on where the image will be used. A website image, social preview, print file, and client proof may need different outputs.

  • Choose the output format.
  • Resize dimensions before heavy compression.
  • Preview quality after export.
  • Keep an original copy.

Quick workflow

Convert only when the target format matters, compress with a visible preview, then download and compare the result with the original.

Do

  • Use WebP or JPEG for smaller web images when appropriate.
  • Use PNG when transparency matters.
  • Check the downloaded file.

Don't

  • Do not overwrite the original file.
  • Do not assume metadata is fully removed for forensic needs.
  • Do not expect animated formats to stay animated after canvas conversion.

FAQs

Which image format should I choose?

Use the format that fits the job: JPEG or WebP for many web images, PNG for transparency, and PDF when a document-style output is needed.

Can compression make every file smaller?

Not always. Some images are already optimized, and a new output can occasionally be larger.
