Image and PDF how-to guides
Practical instructions for the tasks that actually block an upload: getting a photo under 200 KB, turning pictures into a PDF, changing a file format, or setting exact dimensions. Every guide uses free tools that run in your browser.
Start with a tool
Compress and shrink images
Fit photos under an upload limit without guessing at settings.

- How to Upload Large Photos to a Website
When a website refuses a photo for being too large, the fix is to compress the file to just under the stated limit and upload the result. You can do that in a browser, and the tool reports the final size so you know the upload will pass.
- How to Keep Image Quality When Compressing
You can compress an image without visible quality loss by aiming for the largest target that still fits the limit and by reducing pixels only as far as you must. Check every result at full size before you send it, and keep the original file untouched.

PDF tasks
Build documents from photos and pull pages back out as images.

- How to Extract Images From a PDF
You can extract images from a PDF by rendering each page as a JPG or PNG in your browser and downloading the results. The tool produces full-page images, not the individual photos embedded inside a page.
Resize and image size
Set exact dimensions, understand resolution, and plan for the web.
- How to Resize an Image
Resizing an image means changing its pixel dimensions, and you can do it in a browser by entering a width and height or a percentage. The tool keeps the aspect ratio locked and writes a JPG or PNG file you can download.
- How to Reduce Photo Resolution
Reducing photo resolution means lowering the number of pixels the image contains, which you can do by entering a smaller width and height in a browser tool. Fewer pixels means a lighter file and a lower megapixel count.
- How to Resize a Photo for a Website
Resizing a photo for a website means matching the pixel dimensions the page calls for, then compressing the file so it loads quickly. You can do both in a browser, with the aspect ratio locked and no software installed.
- How to Check an Image File Size
Checking an image file size takes a moment on any device: open the file's details and read the number in kilobytes or megabytes. You can then compare it against the limit you need to meet and compress the image if it is too large.
Understand your files
What formats, quality, and file size actually mean for your images.
- Why Is My Image File So Big?
An image file is usually large because it holds a lot of pixels or because it is stored in a format that keeps every one of them. Both causes are fixable: reduce the dimensions, compress to a target size, and keep an original copy for later.
- Image Quality vs File Size, Explained
Image quality and file size pull in opposite directions: keeping more detail costs more bytes, and cutting bytes gives up some detail. The practical goal is to find the point where the file fits its purpose without showing damage you can see.
- How to Open a WebP Image
A WebP image opens in any modern browser, and apps that refuse it can be satisfied by converting the file to JPG or PNG. The conversion runs in your browser, so the picture is never uploaded and no software is installed.
Learn the terms and formats
If a guide mentions a format or a limit you have not met before, the glossary and the comparisons go one level deeper.
