Free Image Tools

Images are usually the heaviest part of any web page, email or upload form, and they are the first thing people try to shrink, resize or convert. These free image tools handle the everyday jobs right in your browser: making a photo small enough for a form that only accepts files under 200 KB, cutting a screenshot down before you paste it into a ticket, or preparing product photos so a store page loads faster on mobile data.

Every tool on this page works on your own device. When you drop a picture in, it is read by your browser and processed with the same graphics engine that draws web pages. Nothing is uploaded to The Zarq or anyone else, which matters when the image is a passport scan, a payslip or a family photo. It also means the tools keep working on slow connections, because there is no upload or download queue to wait for.

We built these for practical results rather than lab numbers. The compressor shows you the before and after side by side so you can judge quality with your own eyes, and it tells you the exact saving for each file. If you want to understand why a JPG behaves differently from a PNG, or which format to choose for a website, our guides below explain it in plain language.

More image tools, including resizing, cropping and format conversion, are being added to this section. Bookmark this page if you work with images often.
