Images
Image tools cover the routine work before a picture is published: compress it, resize it, convert the format, remove a background, blur private details, strip metadata, or pull a colour palette. Most of these tools run in the browser.
Choose the tool by the output you need, not by the file you happen to have. A smaller file, a specific pixel size, a transparent background, and a redacted copy are different jobs, and doing them in the wrong order can cost quality.

Common questions
Does compressing an image reduce quality?
Usually, yes. Lossy compression saves space by discarding detail the eye is less likely to notice, and heavy compression produces blockiness, smeared edges, or banding. Start with a moderate setting, inspect the result at full size, and keep the original until you are satisfied.
Which image format should I use?
JPG suits photographs and is small. PNG suits transparency, screenshots, and images with sharp text. WebP is often smaller than both for the web and is widely supported. Choose the format after you know where the image will be used, not before.
Does resizing an image change its aspect ratio?
Only if width and height are changed by different amounts, or if you crop. Scaling both dimensions by the same percentage preserves the shape. If a form demands exact dimensions, use crop rather than stretch so faces and objects do not look distorted.
