You should not need expensive desktop software for everyday image work. Image Size Compress provides a collection of free browser-based tools for compression, conversion, privacy, document preparation and brand protection. Every tool linked in this guide is free to use, requires no account and processes supported files directly in your browser whenever possible.

Start with the Free Image Compressor

Large photos slow down websites, fill email attachments and can be rejected by application portals. The free image compressor reduces JPG, PNG and WebP file sizes while giving you control over the result. Use it when the image already has the correct format and dimensions but the file is simply too heavy.

Choose a target based on the destination

Website hero images: balance sharpness with fast loading
Email attachments: stay below the provider's attachment limit
Application portals: follow the stated KB and pixel requirements
Social media: preserve enough detail for platform recompression

Convert Images Without Installing Software

Format conversion solves compatibility and performance problems. Use the free JPG to PNG converter when you need PNG output, the PNG to WebP converter for smaller modern web assets, or the HEIC to JPG converter when a website cannot accept an iPhone photo. You can also combine pictures with the JPG to PDF tool.

Protect Privacy Before Sharing

A photo can contain hidden camera details, timestamps and GPS coordinates. Before posting a sensitive image publicly, run it through the free EXIF metadata remover. It can clean one image or a batch and download multiple cleaned files together as a ZIP.

Add a Watermark to One Image or a Complete Batch

Photographers, shops and creators can use the free online watermark tool to add text or upload a logo once and apply it across multiple files. Position, resize, rotate and adjust transparency with a live preview. Downloads retain each source image's original pixel dimensions.

Prepare Passport Photos and PDF Pages

The free passport photo maker provides common ID-photo dimensions, flexible portrait positioning and printable sheets. For existing documents, the free PDF organizer can reorder, rotate, remove and extract pages directly in the browser.

A Simple Free Image Workflow

Choose the final dimensions and file format required by the destination
Remove private metadata before public sharing
Add a watermark if the image needs attribution or brand protection
Compress the final file to reduce upload and download time
Open the downloaded result once to confirm quality before publishing

There is no subscription or premium tier required for these tools. Start with the free image compressor, then use the linked converters and utilities whenever your workflow needs them.
