Optimize HD images and metadata

A practical choice for photographers and site editors who want smaller uploads while retaining the image content they actually need.

Strip unnecessary metadata from an HD image to reduce its file size, leaving a leaner copy that is quicker to send and publish.

How to use

Upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP image in HD size that you want to make lighter without changing its visual content.
Choose the output format you need among WebP recommended, JPEG or PNG.
Run optimization to strip unnecessary metadata and create a lighter copy.
Download the optimized file and quickly check its rendering before publishing it.
Compare the optimized file with the original if the visual result matters for your project.

Example

A webmaster prepares a photo for a home page. They choose WebP, optimize the file and then check that the image still looks sharp on mobile. The lighter copy is sent to the editorial team for publication.

Limits and formats

The tool removes metadata, but it does not guarantee identical visual quality after conversion.
Colors, sharpness and fine details should be checked, especially with WebP or JPEG.
One image is handled per operation, and PNG, JPEG and WebP files are accepted within the stated limit.
Removed metadata may include useful information such as color profile or date.

Where processing happens

Optimization is a heavy task entrusted to the calculation server. The file is uploaded, processed in memory without disk writing on the gateway, then deleted at the end. The file and its result are kept for at most 15 minutes by default before removal. No log keeps the name or content, and no third party is involved. This keeps the operation isolated from other users.

Frequently asked questions

Which output format should I choose?

WebP is offered as recommended for lighter web images. JPEG suits photos, while PNG remains useful for graphics or transparent areas. Compare file size and rendering before deciding.

Does optimization remove copyright information?

The tool mainly strips technical or descriptive metadata. If your rights information is stored there, it may disappear from the optimized copy. Always keep an original version and add a visible notice if needed.

Can I optimize an image that is already compressed?

Yes, but the gain may be limited and quality can drop if you convert an already heavily compressed file again. Start from an original when possible, then compare the result before publishing.
