Good to know: Works locally in your browser with JPG, PNG and WebP. No images are sent to the server. Maximum 10 MB per file, 8 megapixels and 4096 pixels per side. Up to two images only for comparison; other tools use one. Outputs have the same pixel size unless the tool explicitly changes it. Static images only; animation and original metadata are not preserved. Keep your original files.
