Standard Image Sizes
We have built-in presets for the most common web requirements:
- Blog Featured (Small): 600×200 pixels (3:1 Ratio) – Perfect for newsletter headers.
- Blog Square: 750×750 pixels (1:1 Ratio) – Ideal for Instagram or product thumbnails.
- Blog Featured (Large): 1200×600 pixels (2:1 Ratio) – The gold standard for WordPress feature images and social media shares.
- Email Signature: 150px Width – Keeps your headshot or logo crisp without being oversized in Outlook or Gmail.
Why Use Our Image Reducer?
Manual Cropping Control: Most compressors just shrink the image. We give you full control. If our automatic center-crop doesn’t look right, switch to “Manual Crop” and draw the exact selection you want.
100% Private & Secure. Your privacy matters. Unlike other tools that upload your photos to a cloud server, our tool processes everything locally on your device. Your personal photos and documents never leave your computer.
Stop Email Bounces: Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo limit attachments to 25MB. By compressing your images here first, you ensure your emails always get delivered and load fast for your recipients.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I crop a specific part of an image?
Click the “Manual Crop” button in the options panel. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair. Simply click and drag across your image preview to draw a box around the area you want to save.
What is the best size for an email signature photo?
For email signatures, you generally want an image between 100px and 200px wide. Our “Signature” preset sets the width to 150px, which looks great on both desktop and mobile devices.
Does this tool support PNG transparency?
Yes, you can upload PNGs. However, to ensure maximum compression for email, the tool will convert transparent backgrounds to white if you choose aggressive compression settings.
