Why edit images without uploading to a server?

Photos, screenshots and scanned documents often contain private details you shouldn't have to upload just to resize or compress them. NearIMG runs the entire process locally in your browser, so nothing is transmitted anywhere.

Is PNG higher quality than JPG?

PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, but a PNG made from a JPG cannot recover detail the JPG already lost.

Why is the PNG larger?

Lossless compression keeps every pixel, so PNGs are usually bigger than JPG or WebP.

Does it work offline?
