# Optimise images for web & sharing

Large photos are slow to upload and email. These tools shrink and reshape images entirely
in your browser.

## By goal

- **Reduce file size** (smaller JPG/PNG/WebP) → [Compress Image](../tools/compress-image.md)
- **Change dimensions** (fit a width/height) → [Resize Image](../tools/resize-image.md)
- **Switch format** (JPG ↔ PNG ↔ WebP) → [Convert Image](../tools/convert-image.md)
- **Cut to a region or aspect ratio** → [Crop Image](../tools/crop-image.md)

## A typical flow

1. [Crop](../tools/crop-image.md) to the part you want.
2. [Resize](../tools/resize-image.md) to the width your page or platform needs.
3. [Convert](../tools/convert-image.md) to WebP, then [Compress](../tools/compress-image.md) to trim the last bytes.

## Before you post

Photos often carry hidden metadata (location, device). If you are sharing publicly, also
[strip EXIF data](../tools/remove-exif.md) — see [Protect privacy](./protect-privacy.md).
