Changelog (page 15)

October 1, 2026

• changed

  Passport, visa and exam pages now demo a portrait of someone from that page's own country, from a set of thirty-two, and every portrait is framed so the crop keeps the whole head and trims the shoulders instead. The signature pages demo a handwritten signature on paper, one of four.

• fixed

  The before and after picture on passport pages no longer cuts off the top of the hair, and the SSC and RRB pages show a signature in their signature box instead of a face cropped to a strip.

• changed

  Every tool page now shows a real before and after under the tool: its demo photo, and the same photo after that page's settings, with the measured pixels and file size of each. The demo photos come from a set of fifteen, so pages no longer all show the same lake.

• changed

  Try a demo now opens a photo that suits the page: a portrait on passport, visa and profile picture pages, a signature on the signature page, a transparent cut-out on the PNG converters, and a square for emoji and product sizes. The drop area is larger and shows that photo.

• changed

  The demo photos are real photographs now: a mountain lake, a portrait and a beagle, instead of a drawn pattern. They download only when you press Try a demo.

• added

  You can paste a photo into the background remover, as you already could in the image resizer: copy an image or a screenshot and press Ctrl+V or Cmd+V.

• fixed

  Hold to compare no longer flashes. The original now appears in the same box as the result, so after Crop to fill you see the whole photo and what the crop took off.

• changed

  The empty editor now shows the demo photo, which you can click to try, and three short steps above Download. Remove background gets a gently moving border once a photo is open.

• fixed

  The photo preview now fills the editor on a computer. Hold to compare only appears once your settings change how the photo looks, and holding it on a phone no longer opens the browser's image menu.

• changed

  A calmer editor. Before you open a photo it shows only the size and the Download button, format and quality fold into More options, and labels and buttons use larger, plain text instead of small capitals.

• added

  There is now a page for resizing a photo to a 1600 x 900 widescreen frame. It gives the crop in pixels, why a Full HD image needs none, the white border option, and the file size measured on five photos: 183 KB to 314 KB.

• added

  There is now a page for resizing a photo to a 1200 x 1200 square. It gives the crop in pixels, when a photo gets enlarged, the white border option, and the file size measured on five photos: 197 KB to 300 KB.

• added

  There is now a page for resizing a photo to a 300 x 300 square. It gives the crop in pixels for phone and camera photos, the white border option, and the file size measured on five photos: 20 KB to 28 KB.

• added

  There is now a page for resizing a photo to 800 x 600. A 4:3 phone photo goes in whole with nothing cropped, the page gives the crop in pixels for other shapes, and it measures the file size on five photos: 64 KB to 125 KB.

• added

  A post on phone wallpaper sizes: current iPhones, Pixels and Galaxy S phones from each maker's spec page, how much a 1080 x 1920 wallpaper is enlarged and cropped on each, and one 1440 x 3200 file that none of them enlarges.

• added

  Watermark an image online: type your name or web address and stamp it in a corner, the centre, or tiled diagonally across the photo, at 10 to 90 percent opacity. The size and format stay as they were, and nothing is uploaded.
