Image Processing Guides
Practical guides for the most common image tasks — each one covers multiple methods including a free browser tool, Photoshop, and Python with copy-paste code examples.
How to Compress Images for the Web
3 methods — PixelForge, Photoshop, and Python
Uncompressed images slow down websites, inflate storage costs, and hurt Core Web Vitals scores. Here are three ways to compress images in bulk — from the fastest browser tool to a Python script that handles any volume.
Read guide →How to Resize Images in Bulk
3 methods — PixelForge, Photoshop Image Processor, and Python
Resizing hundreds of images manually takes hours. Here are three ways to batch-resize them — from a browser tool that takes 60 seconds to a Python script that scales to any volume.
Read guide →How to Convert PNG to JPG in Bulk
3 methods — PixelForge, macOS Preview, and Python
PNG files are lossless and great for editing, but JPEG is usually much smaller for photos without transparency. Here are three ways to convert PNG to JPEG in bulk, with tips on handling transparency correctly.
Read guide →How to Remove EXIF Data from Photos
3 methods — PixelForge, ExifTool, and Python
Every photo taken on a smartphone contains hidden metadata — GPS coordinates, device model, timestamps, and more. Here are three ways to strip that data from photos in bulk before sharing them publicly.
Read guide →How to Add a Watermark to Images in Bulk
3 methods — PixelForge, Photoshop Actions, and Python
Watermarking protects your images from unauthorized use and reinforces your brand. Here are three ways to add watermarks to hundreds of images at once — browser-based, desktop software, and scripted.
Read guide →How to Convert Images to AVIF
3 methods — PixelForge, ImageMagick CLI, and Python
AVIF is the most efficient image format for the web — delivering 30–50% smaller files than JPEG and 20–30% smaller than WebP at the same visual quality. All major browsers now support it, and Google's Core Web Vitals tooling actively rewards smaller image payloads. Here are three ways to convert your image library to AVIF in bulk.
Read guide →How to Remove White Borders from Product Photos
3 methods — PixelForge, Photoshop Trim, and Python
Inconsistent white borders and padding on product photos look unprofessional and can cause rejection on marketplaces like Etsy, Amazon, and Shopify. Whether the borders came from your scanner, photo editing software, or an export setting, here are three ways to auto-trim them in bulk.
Read guide →How to Reduce Noise in Photos
3 methods — PixelForge, Lightroom, and Python
Digital noise — the grain, speckle, and color artifacts visible in low-light or high-ISO photos — degrades image quality, makes compression less efficient, and reduces perceived sharpness. Here are three ways to reduce noise across a batch of photos, from a browser tool to a Python script.
Read guide →How to Convert Images to WebP
3 methods — PixelForge, cwebp CLI, and Python
WebP is the most widely supported next-gen image format — delivering 25–35% smaller files than JPEG and 25–50% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality. Every major browser supports it, Google's Core Web Vitals reward it, and most CDNs and modern CMSes handle it natively. Here are three ways to convert your existing images to WebP in bulk.
Read guide →How to Convert HEIC to JPG
3 methods — PixelForge, macOS Preview, and Python
iPhones capture photos in HEIC format by default — a modern format that delivers excellent quality at half the file size of JPEG. The problem: HEIC isn't widely supported outside Apple's ecosystem. Windows, most websites, many Android devices, and older versions of Photoshop can't open HEIC files without extra steps. Here are three ways to convert HEIC photos to universally compatible JPEG.
