How does client-side image resizing work?

Client-side resizing uses your browser's HTML5 Canvas API. When you select an image, it is drawn onto an offscreen canvas at the new target dimensions. The canvas is then exported as a compressed image blob (WebP, PNG, or JPEG). Since all calculations run locally in your browser, your files are never uploaded to any server.

What is the "Smart Target File Size" compression option?

This option allows you to input a maximum desired file size (e.g., 200 KB) for visa forms, passport applications, or web optimization. The tool runs an iterative bisection search algorithm, automatically adjusting the output quality and scale parameters in steps until the generated file size falls safely below your specified limit.

Can I crop and resize multiple images at the same time?

Yes! You can upload multiple images to process them in batch mode. The dimensions, aspect ratio fit, and output format settings in the control panel will apply to all files in the queue. You can also click the crop icon on any individual image in the queue to customize its crop area before running the batch.

How do the "Cover", "Fit", and "Stretch" aspect ratio mismatch modes differ?

If your target dimensions do not match your image's aspect ratio: Stretch distorts the image to fit exactly; Cover scales and clips the center of the image to fill the canvas; Fit (Solid) scales the image to fit inside and letterboxes the rest with color; Fit (Blur) letterboxes the rest with a blurred, scaled-up copy of the image.

What are the output format options, and how is transparency handled?

We support WebP, PNG, JPEG, and BMP exports. PNG and WebP preserve background transparency natively. If you export to JPEG, transparent areas will automatically fill with a solid color (default white). Additionally, you can check the "Chroma Key" filter to make any solid color transparent in WebP/PNG/BMP exports.

💡 Feature Quick-Guide

🟢 What is Chroma Key (Background Transparency)? Derived from television green-screens, this option makes a specific color in your image transparent. The tool scans every pixel and removes matching hues based on your color choice and tolerance slider (higher tolerance removes broader shades). Ideal for logos or scanned signatures.

⬛ What is Letterbox Fill Color? When fitting an image into a new aspect ratio (e.g., forcing a vertical phone photo into a horizontal 16:9 box), borders are left empty. "Letterbox Fill Color" lets you decide what to paint in those borders—choose transparent, a solid color, or a blurred copy of the original image.

Why WebP is Recommended

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior **lossless and lossy compression** for web assets. WebP images are typically **26% smaller** in size compared to PNGs and **25-34% smaller** compared to JPEGs, while maintaining rich transparency support.

🎯

Target Size Compression

Visa applications, job portals, and official submission forms often enforce strict limits (e.g. "Max 200 KB"). Instead of manual trial-and-error resizing, our smart bisection compression automatically adjusts pixel count and quality variables iteratively to fit exactly.

🔒

100% Client-Side Privacy

Most popular online resizers require you to upload files to their servers. We process pixels **directly in your browser** using HTML5 Canvas. Your sensitive document photos, confidential screenshots, or private images **never** leave your local computer.

📁 Canvas Codec Conversion Support

When converting between formats, the resizer automatically handles transparency:

WebP / PNG to JPEG: Replaces transparent backgrounds with the solid color selected (default: white).
Chroma-Key Transparency: Evaluates Euclidean RGB distances to clean backgrounds. Excellent for isolating signatures, stamps, or logos.
Same as Input: Falls back to PNG or JPEG if the input is an animated GIF, SVG, or AVIF (since they cannot be directly written/encoded by the browser's Canvas).
