The bigger picture: Image & Media

Images and video drive social media and websites, but every platform wants a different size and format. In-browser tools resize, convert and polish media without uploading private photos.

What's changing: Modern formats like WebP and AVIF are replacing heavy JPGs on the web, making pages faster, especially on mobile.

Frequently asked questions
