10 guides
  1. 01

    Prepare web images: resize, compress and choose a format

    Prepare PNG, JPEG and WebP images for publishing. Distinguish pixel dimensions from file size, choose transparency and quality settings and inspect the exported result before replacing the original.

  2. 02

    Fit an image inside maximum dimensions proportionally

    Maximum dimensions are bounds, not an exact output rectangle. Check the proportional result inside both limits.

  3. 03

    Understand proportional resizing without distortion

    Both dimensions use one scale when a limit applies. Calculate why output height differs from its maximum.

  4. 04

    Why a small original is not enlarged

    This tool downsizes. Larger bounds do not enlarge a small original or generate new detail.

  5. 05

    Calculate portrait width under a maximum-height limit

    Portraits can reach the height bound first. Identical maximums can produce different dimensions from landscape images.

  6. 06

    Check image limits by file size, pixels and side length

    Small files can contain many pixels. Input checks cover file size, total pixels and each side.

  7. 07

    Choose output format for photos and transparent logos

    Resizing and format selection both affect output. Review background and detail needs for photos and transparent logos.

  8. 08

    Review small text and logos after downsizing

    Downsizing can weaken small lines and text. Review at the actual display size after fitting dimensions.

  9. 09

    Review a resized export before publication

    After download, check dimensions, orientation, format and content. Retain the source for future edits.

  10. 10

    What to check when an image export looks wrong

    Diagnose a larger file, changed transparency, unexpected dimensions or a failed image export. Compare the source with the output and choose settings that fit its purpose.
