❓ Frequently Asked Questions & Knowledge Base

No. This is the most important feature of EasyImageCR. We operate as a Client-Side Tool. When you select an image, it is processed entirely within your web browser (using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly technology) on your own device. Your photos never travel over the internet to our servers. This ensures 100% privacy for your personal documents, contracts, and family photos.

No. Since the files never reach our server, we cannot store them. Once you close the tab or refresh the page, all memory of the image is wiped from your browser.

Occasionally, Windows SmartScreen or antivirus software might flag the download. This happens because the file is generated instantly by your browser (JavaScript) rather than being downloaded from a traditional server. Since the file originates from "your computer" but technically comes from the browser, security systems treat it as new/uncommon. It is completely safe to keep/open the file.

Click on the "Bulk Resize" tab on the homepage. You can select multiple images (Ctrl+Click or Cmd+Click). Once uploaded, you can set the width, format, and compression settings for all of them. When you click "Batch Process & Download," the tool will process and download each image one by one.

Yes, EasyImageCR is 100% free to use for both personal and commercial purposes. We display non-intrusive advertisements to cover our hosting and development costs.

Absolutely. The website is fully responsive. You can resize, crop, and compress images directly from your iPhone, iPad, or Android gallery without installing any apps.

This is essential for government forms (like UPSC, SSC, PAN Card).
1. Upload your image.
2. Under "Compression Mode," select Target Size (KB).
3. Enter your desired limit (e.g., 50).
4. Ensure format is set to JPEG or WEBP (PNG does not support aggressive compression).
The tool will mathematically calculate the highest quality possible that fits within your 50KB limit.

Resizing changes the dimensions (pixels) of the image (e.g., changing 1920x1080 to 800x600). This naturally reduces file size.
Compressing keeps the dimensions the same but removes invisible data and simplifies colors to reduce the file weight (KB/MB).
For best results, do both: Resize to a reasonable width (like 1200px) and then compress quality to 80-90%.

1. Open the "Show Edit Tools" panel.
2. Set the "Rounded Corners" slider to 50%.
3. IMPORTANT: Set the Output Format to PNG or WebP. If you save as JPEG, the transparent corners will turn black or white.

We have built-in presets in the Edit Tools panel.
- 1:1 for Instagram Posts.
- 9:16 for Instagram Reels/Stories or TikTok.
- 16:9 for YouTube Thumbnails.
Simply click the preset button, and the preview will update instantly.

Yes. In the Edit Tools panel, increase the "Border Width" slider. You can also click the color box to choose any color (black, white, neon, etc.) for your border. This is great for making images pop on white backgrounds.

- JPEG: Best for photographs. Small file size, wide compatibility. No transparency.
- PNG: Best for graphics, logos, and screenshots. Supports transparency. Larger file size.
- WebP: The modern standard. Smaller than JPEG and PNG with better quality. Supported by all modern browsers.
- BMP/TIFF: Older formats, usually for printing. Very large file sizes.

You likely saved the image as a JPEG. The JPEG format does not support transparency, so it fills transparent areas with a solid color (usually black or white). To keep the background transparent, please select PNG or WebP.

Most modern browsers can now read HEIC files. If you upload a HEIC file, we can convert it to JPG or PNG. However, support depends on your specific browser version and operating system.

Please try the following:
1. Ensure you have actually uploaded a file.
2. If you are using an ad-blocker, it might occasionally interfere with the script. Try pausing it.
3. Refresh the page and try again.
4. Check if your browser has permission to save files to your device.

Since we process images in your browser's memory (RAM), uploading extremely large files (e.g., 100MB TIFFs) or selecting 500 images at once in Bulk Mode can overwhelm the browser. Try processing fewer images at a time or closing other tabs to free up memory.

This can happen if:
1. You are converting a highly compressed JPEG to a PNG (PNGs are lossless and larger).
2. You increased the resolution (Upscaling).
3. The "Quality" slider is set to 100%. Try lowering it to 90% or 80%.

Most Indian portals (UIDAI, NTA, UPSC) require:
- Passport Photo: 3.5cm x 4.5cm (approx 132x170 pixels to 413x531 pixels). Size < 50KB or < 100KB.
- Signature: Width > Height. Size < 20KB.
Use our "Target Size" mode set to 45KB or 18KB to be safe.

Marketplaces prefer square images with white backgrounds.
- Dimensions: At least 1000x1000 pixels (for zoom functionality).
- Format: JPEG.
- Quality: 85-90%.

Large images slow down websites. For blog posts:
- Convert images to WebP.
- Resize width to max 1200px or 800px.
- Keep file size under 100KB per image.
