Start with the result you need
Use the compressor when the goal is smaller JPG, PNG, or WebP files. Choose the resizer or cropper when the target is a fixed width, height, or aspect ratio. Use the format converter when a website, email, document, or publishing workflow needs a different image type.
Understand local processing and sharing
Most TUXIA tools use browser APIs and keep the selected image on your device. The image URL generator is different: it uploads through the ImgBB API key you provide, so it is best for images that are safe to publish or share. For screenshots with private text, faces, QR codes, or license plates, use the retouch and mosaic tool before sharing.
When to use each image format
Use JPEG for photos and complex images where small file size matters. Choose PNG for graphics with text, sharp edges, or transparency needs. WebP offers the best compression for modern web use — often 25-35% smaller than JPEG at similar quality. SVG works for logos and icons that need to scale without losing sharpness. If unsure, try TUXIA's format converter to preview before exporting.
Privacy-first image tools: what local processing means
Unlike cloud-based editors that upload your images to their servers, TUXIA runs 11 of 12 tools entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photos, documents, and screenshots never leave your device — no upload time, no server storage, and complete privacy. Even the QR code generator, color picker, and EXIF viewer process everything locally. The only exception is the image URL generator, which sends images directly to ImgBB using your own API key.
