User Guide
This page is an operational playbook: pick a target, run the shortest workflow, and verify output quality before publishing.
Choose your path first
- I need privacy checks: start with Analyzer.
- I need exact dimensions: start with Resizer.
- I only need smaller file size: start with Compressor.
- I need all three outcomes: follow the full workflow below.
Default full workflow
- Analyze: check metadata and confirm whether GPS/author fields are safe to share.
- Resize: set final delivery dimensions and lock aspect ratio unless intentional crop distortion is needed.
- Compress: reduce file size once at final dimensions, then inspect quality at 100%.
Scenario recipes
Recipe A: web article image
- Resize to target slot width first.
- Compress around medium-to-high quality and compare result.
- Upload only after checking text edges and gradient areas.
Recipe B: social post
- Pick final ratio and dimensions before export.
- Keep logos/text away from edges.
- Compress once and check mobile preview before publishing.
Recipe C: privacy-sensitive photo
- Analyze metadata first and inspect GPS/location tags.
- Export a cleaned copy in your editor if needed.
- Re-check cleaned copy in analyzer before external sharing.
Quick quality gates before publish
- Text and thin lines remain sharp at 100% zoom.
- Faces and skin tones do not show heavy artifacts.
- Final file size meets channel limits without visible damage.
- Metadata matches your sharing/privacy requirements.
Failure recovery
- Output is blurry: reduce resize aggressiveness or increase compression quality.
- File is still heavy: resize dimensions down before lowering quality further.
- Text is muddy: test a more suitable format and recompress from source.
- Unexpected metadata remains: export cleaned copy and re-analyze.
Privacy and processing model
Analyzer: temporary server-side processing for metadata extraction, then immediate deletion. Compressor and resizer: browser-side processing; files are not uploaded.
