Image

Resize, crop and re-encode in the browser.

Choosing an image format is a trade between three things: how small the file gets, whether transparency survives, and how much detail is thrown away for good. JPEG discards data to shrink photographs and cannot get it back, so every re-save costs a little more. PNG keeps every pixel and every transparent edge, at the price of size. WebP does both jobs and is smaller than either, but older software still stumbles on it. Quality is the same trade made by degrees rather than in one step, which is why a slider can shrink a photograph and do nothing at all for flat artwork. Every tool here says what the change costs — in bytes, and in what it takes away — before you commit to it.

What should it convert, calculate or generate, and where would the authoritative numbers come from? A link to the standard or publication that defines them is the most useful thing you can send.

How these tools are built

Every tool in this category runs entirely in your browser: there is no upload, no account and no request to a server once the page has loaded. The numbers behind them are transcribed from the organisation that defines them — NIST for units, the W3C for web formats, the WHO for health measures — and each page names its source next to the formula. A tool whose reference values stop reproducing fails the build and does not ship, which is the whole reason the catalogue grows slowly.
