Output Formats
BatchResize Image can write outputs in four practical ways.
Same as Input (default)
Keeps each image in its original format.
Examples:
- JPG stays JPG
- PNG stays PNG
- WebP stays WebP
- TIFF stays TIFF
Use this when: you only need resized dimensions and do not want to change the file format.
JPG
JPEG is the best general-purpose export format for photographic content.
Pros:
- small files
- universal compatibility
- ideal for photos and general web uploads
Cons:
- lossy compression
- no transparency
Use JPG when: you want small files and broad compatibility.
PNG
PNG uses lossless compression and preserves sharp edges and transparency.
Pros:
- no visible compression artifacts
- supports transparency
- ideal for graphics, UI captures, logos, and text-heavy images
Cons:
- larger files than JPG or WebP
Use PNG when: quality fidelity matters more than file size.
WebP
WebP is a modern web-first format with strong compression.
Pros:
- often smaller than JPG at similar visual quality
- supports transparency
- good for web delivery
Cons:
- less universal than JPG or PNG
- some older tools and services still reject it
Use WebP when: your platform supports it and you want smaller output files.
Which format should I choose?
| Goal | Best choice |
|---|---|
| Keep workflow simple | Same as Input |
| Smallest broadly-compatible photo files | JPG |
| Crisp graphics or transparency | PNG |
| Web-first optimized output | WebP |
Quality and metadata notes
- The Quality slider affects JPG and WebP
- PNG uses lossless compression, so the quality slider does not apply
- Strip EXIF metadata removes metadata from the resized output
