Quick answer: Image compression changes encoded file size; resizing changes pixel dimensions; conversion changes the file format. Start with the task your website or upload form requires. Mayexa Image Studio combines all three in one browser workspace without uploading image pixels to a processing server.

Open Image Studio - Compress, Resize & Convert to inspect its current options and availability.

Understand the method before choosing an action

A photograph and a transparent logo need different export choices. JPEG is suitable for opaque photographic content; PNG and WebP can preserve transparency. PNG re-encoding does not guarantee a smaller file, so compare the actual downloaded bytes instead of assuming every conversion saves space.

A practical example to work through

For a 2400-pixel-wide photograph intended for a 1200-pixel content area, choose Resize and keep the aspect ratio. Compare JPEG or WebP quality options at the final dimensions. Inspect small lettering and sharp edges in the encoded preview before accepting a smaller file; do not judge only the size number.

Use the Mayexa workspace

  1. Choose Compress, Resize or Convert, then upload or drop up to ten JPEG, PNG or static WebP images. Images remain on your device.
  2. Choose output format and quality. Combine resizing, center crop or padding, rotation, flips and background settings as needed.
  3. Process the batch, compare the actual encoded preview and inspect dimensions, sizes and warnings. Target-size attempts can fail honestly.
  4. Download each completed image or a ZIP. Clear images when finished. Settings changes discard old results; originals remain until cleared.

Limits, privacy and interpretation

The studio accepts static JPEG, PNG and WebP, with up to ten inputs and 10 MiB per image. Animated images and unsupported codecs are rejected. Re-encoding does not copy source EXIF/GPS metadata, but downloading unchanged original bytes retains it. Target file sizes are attempts, not promises, and this tool does not write image alt text for your website.

No Mayexa account is required. Review the workspace's processing labels and limits before entering data.
