Image Tools

Choosing the right image tool

Image Tools on FreeMicroTools cover the jobs people most often open a photo editor for: making a picture smaller in KB for an upload form, changing its format between JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF, resizing it to a pixel width, and making passport and exam photos at an exact size. Every image tool runs in your browser, so photos, signatures and ID pictures are never uploaded or stored.

Choose by what the form or website checks. A maximum file size such as 50 KB needs Compress Image. A width and height in pixels needs Image Resizer. A particular format, such as JPG instead of WebP, needs Image Converter. Exam forms from SSC, UPSC, IBPS and NTA set both a KB range and a pixel size, so use the Exam Photo and Signature Resizer, which meets the smallest and the largest size together. Passport and visa photos are measured in millimetres, so use the Passport Photo Maker, which also makes 4 × 6 inch and A4 print sheets.

Each image tool saves a new file made fresh from the picture, which leaves out hidden location data from phone photos, and none of them adds a watermark. A background remover is on the roadmap.

Questions

Which image tool should I use for an exam application form?

Use the Exam Photo and Signature Resizer. Exam forms set both a file size range in KB and a pixel size, and the resizer meets both, with built-in limits for SSC, UPSC, IBPS and NTA exams and custom limits for any other form.

What is the difference between compressing and resizing an image?

Compressing lowers the file size in KB by storing the picture more efficiently, and can keep the same width and height. Resizing changes the width and height in pixels, which also makes the file smaller. A KB limit needs compression; a pixel size needs resizing.

Are my photos uploaded when I use these image tools?

No. Every image tool on FreeMicroTools works inside your browser, so photos, signatures and ID pictures never leave your device and nothing is stored.
