Free Image Editors to Optimize Photos for Your Website

July 2, 2018

Often you probably won't need an advanced image editing tool to crop or reduce the size of your photos. While Photoshop is the king when it comes to image editing, there are several free programs that you can use to optimize images for the web. Below are a few Free Image Editors to Optimize Photos for Your Website.

MAC:

If you're using a laptop from Apple, one of the free programs that are built into the operating system is Preview. The Preview is the default program used to view images on a Mac. While it doesn't have the same advanced features found in Photoshop is remains a very capable tool to resize and crop images.Preview (MAC)

Windows:

While MAC operating systems have Preview, Windows has two notable image editors to available. These programs are FastStone and PIXresizer. Yet, unlike the Preview tool that comes included in Mac computers these apps will need to be downloaded on a PC.PIXresizer Screenshot

Multi-Platforms:

Two programs that are platform independent that also deserve a mention is Canva and ImageOptim. In addition to photo editing, Canva includes tools for logo and graph making. Although not an intensive editing program ImageOptim is great when reducing file sizes of images. ImageOptim is great because it can reduce the size of a file without affecting too much of the quality of the image.Canva Logo
