Image Guides
Resize, compress, and prepare images for the web and social media — with the exact dimensions that work.
Compression, conversion, resizing, cropping, background removal, and watermarks — the image guides cover the practical workflows for preparing images for the web, social media, and print. Each guide explains what to do and links to the ForgePlug tool that does it.
Every tool processes images entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so your photos never leave your device. Batch processing is supported for most tools, and you can download results individually or as a ZIP archive.
