Straight answers about how TryImager works, what it does with your images and where its limits are.

How do I use TryImager?
Pick a tool from the homepage or the All Tools page, drop your image onto the upload area (or click to browse), adjust the settings if you want to, and press the download button when the result appears. No account or signup is needed.
Which image formats are supported?
Most tools accept JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF and SVG files, and the HEIC to JPG converter also accepts HEIC and HEIF photos from iPhones. Depending on the tool, you can save the result as JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF, or a multi-size ICO and PNG favicon ZIP package.
Are my images processed on my own device?
Yes. All conversion, compression, resizing, colour sampling, binary EXIF inspection/removal, favicon packaging and PDF creation run inside your browser tab using your device's own processing power. Your images are not uploaded to TryImager's servers.
What information can analytics receive?
TryImager uses Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode defaults. It can receive page views and tool-usage events such as starting or completing a conversion. It never receives your images or their contents. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, analytics storage stays denied until you consent through Google's consent message.
Does refreshing the page remove unsaved work?
Yes. Your image and its processed result exist only in the current browser tab's memory. Refreshing or closing the tab discards them, so download your result before leaving the page.
Why might a large image fail to process?
Because everything happens on your device, the limit is your device's memory, not a server quota. Images wider or taller than 16,384 pixels, or beyond about 260 megapixels in total, are refused, and very large images below those ceilings can still fail on a device with little free memory.
How do I save a converted image?
After processing finishes, a result panel appears with a download button. Clicking it saves the exact file shown in the result panel, including its measured size, to your device.
Why can a converted image become larger than the original?
Some format changes trade size for quality or compatibility. For example, converting a small JPEG to PNG often produces a larger file because PNG is lossless. If size matters more, choose a compressed format like JPG or WebP and adjust the quality setting.
Does TryImager guarantee that a form or exam portal will accept my image?
No. The exam and requirement tools apply the dimensions and file-size targets shown on the page, but each authority can change its rules at any time. Always verify the current requirements in the official notification before submitting.
Does processing an image remove EXIF camera metadata and GPS location?
Yes. Canvas-based converters, compressors and resizers decode your photo into raw pixels and encode a fresh file without copying EXIF or GPS tags. If you want to inspect existing tags or losslessly strip EXIF, GPS, XMP and IPTC segments from a JPG, PNG or WebP file without re-encoding the image pixels, use the dedicated Image Metadata Viewer & EXIF Remover.
How can I verify for myself that my files are not uploaded?
Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12 or Inspect) and switch to the Network tab before selecting a file. When you convert, resize or compress an image, you will see zero network requests carrying your file or image bytes.
How can I contact the site owner?
Email hello@tryimager.com. TryImager is built and maintained by Ranjith R, an independent web builder in Bengaluru, India, who typically replies within 24–48 hours.
Where can I read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use?
Both are linked in the footer of every page: the Privacy Policy explains what little data is involved, and the Terms of Use cover acceptable use. A Cookie Policy and Disclaimer are available there too.
