Everything you need to know about Pixpoo's free image, PDF and creative tools.
Does resizing reduce quality?
Not always. Reducing an image's dimensions (making it smaller) usually has little to no visible impact on quality when done correctly. Enlarging an image (making it bigger), however, can reduce sharpness because the software has to create additional pixels. PixPoo uses high-quality resizing algorithms to help preserve image clarity during the resizing process.
Is PixPoo free?
Yes, PixPoo's Image Resizer is completely free to use. You can resize JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, AVIF, and SVG images online without creating an account or installing any software. Simply upload your image, adjust the dimensions, and download the resized version in seconds.
What image formats does pixpoo support?
Pixpoo supports popular image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF and AVIF for image processing and conversion. You can use the Convert Image tool to switch between supported formats while optimizing your images for different needs, such as smaller file sizes, web performance, or preserving transparency and quality.
Is there a limit on file size or image dimensions?
Yes! Each image editing tool supports image uploads of up to 25 MB per file, which is sufficient for most web, social media, and high-resolution photography needs. There are no strict image dimension restrictions for typical use, but extremely large images may take longer to process. If your image exceeds the 25 MB limit, simply compress or resize it first, then continue using the tool. This ensures fast uploads, smooth processing, and reliable performance.
Are my uploaded images stored or shared?
Your privacy matters. Uploaded images are processed only to generate your requested result and are not used for any other purpose. Pixpoo does not browse, share, sell, or repurpose your uploaded images. Your files are handled securely and only used for the image processing task you requested.
Can I resize to an exact pixel size?
Yes! You can enter an exact width and height in pixels to resize your image to the precise dimensions you need. You can also use built-in quick-size presets for popular social media, website, and common image dimensions. The aspect ratio can be locked to maintain proportions, or you can adjust width and height independently for custom sizing.
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
Yes! You can crop your image using popular aspect ratios such as 1:1 (Square), 16:9, 4:5, 3:2, 9:16, and more. Simply select the desired ratio, and the crop box stays locked to those proportions while you drag, resize, and reposition it. If you need complete flexibility, you can also choose Free Crop to crop your image to any custom size.
Can I straighten a tilted photo while cropping?
Yes! Use the Straighten slider to rotate your image by small increments and level tilted horizons or uneven photos while cropping. The crop area automatically adjusts as you rotate, making it easy to achieve a clean, professional-looking result with minimal loss around the edges.
How much can I compress an image without losing quality?
It depends on the image and the format, but moderate compression usually results in little to no visible quality loss for everyday use. Start with a Medium compression level and compare the preview. If you need a specific file size, use the Target File Size option to automatically adjust the compression and get as close as possible to your desired size while maintaining the best possible image quality.
What's the difference between lossy and lossless compression?
Lossy compression reduces file size by permanently removing some image data, resulting in much smaller files with little to no noticeable quality loss for most photos. It's ideal for websites, social media, email, and everyday image sharing where smaller file sizes are important.
Lossless compression reduces file size without removing any image data, preserving every pixel of the original image with zero quality loss. It's the best choice for logos, screenshots, illustrations, diagrams, and images containing sharp text or graphics, though the file size is usually larger than with lossy compression.
Which image format should I use for my website?
For most modern websites, WebP is the best all-around choice. It offers smaller file sizes than JPEG and PNG while maintaining excellent image quality, helping pages load faster and improving SEO. AVIF provides even better compression and smaller file sizes, but it has slightly less universal browser and platform support. If your audience uses modern browsers, AVIF is a great option; otherwise, WebP is the safest default. You can also use the Website preset in the Convert Image tool to automatically apply optimized settings for web performance.
Can I convert a PNG to JPEG and keep transparency?
No! JPEG does not support transparency, so any transparent areas in a PNG image must be replaced with a background color during conversion. You can choose a background color—such as white, black, or any custom color—or use the default white background. If you need to preserve transparency, consider using PNG, WebP, or AVIF instead.
