Good use cases

• Shrinking photos for email or CMS upload limits
• Removing GPS/EXIF before posting online
• Cropping screenshots for docs and tickets
• Converting formats for web performance (e.g. WebP)

Alternatives (and when to pick them)

• Desktop apps — best for heavy daily editing with lots of files
• OS built-ins — fine for occasional jobs when you already know the workflow
• Upload-based websites — convenient, but avoid for sensitive inputs
• Toolkase browser tools — fast, private-by-default for one-off and recurring light work

Tips for private image edits

• Start with a copy of important photos so you can redo settings.
• On phones, very large camera originals may be slow — try a smaller export first.
• Strip location metadata before sharing travel or home photos when privacy matters.
• Convert to WebP or compress after resizing for the smallest shareable file.
