Changelog (page 19)

September 27, 2026

• fixed

  Screen readers no longer hear two regions with the same name on the home page, the About page says when the site started, and a few long paragraphs are split for easier reading on a phone.

• changed

  Crop corners are easier to grab on a touch screen, and the button that helps you reach a file size target now says exactly what it does: shrink the longest side to a given size.

• changed

  The editor works better with a keyboard and a screen reader: the modes are tabs you move between with the arrow keys, focus lands on the preview when a photo opens, the result is read out with its size and whether it met the target, and Ctrl+Y redoes.

• added

  The home page editor remembers your last format, quality and mode on this device, so it opens the way you left it. Nothing about your photos is kept, and tool pages still open with their own settings.

• added

  Copy your resized image straight to the clipboard (as PNG) on a computer, or send it to another app with Share where your device offers it. Both sit beside Undo and Redo.

• added

  On a phone, a small copy of your result now stays docked above the Download button while you change settings, with its size and file size. Tap it to jump back to the preview.

• added

  Swap in a different photo without starting over: use Replace photo above the preview, drop a new file onto it, or paste one. The empty editor now says you can paste an image too.

• added

  Hold the preview (or its Hold to compare button) to see your original photo in its place. Under the preview, the before and after now show file sizes as well as dimensions, and a spinner shows while a new version is being made.

• fixed

  Scrolling with the mouse over the editor's settings now scrolls the page again instead of getting stuck.

• changed

  The footer is shorter and easier to scan: editing tools, photo sizes, site pages and legal pages each have their own labelled column.

• fixed

  The editor keeps a size you pick before opening a photo, saves downloads with their new size in the name (photo-600x750.jpg) so they never replace the original, recovers after a failed run, and shows common sizes only in pixels mode.

• changed

  Sixteen passport and visa photo pages now answer whether you can smile or wear glasses, and how old the photo can be, each read from that country's own rules.

• changed

  The US passport photo page now answers whether you can wear glasses or smile and how recent the photo must be, from the State Department's own page, and the compressor and 50 KB pages explain how to use them on a phone.

• fixed

  On a laptop or desktop the editor now keeps one height in every mode, with no empty gap under the quality slider. A mode with more settings scrolls inside the panel, and a bouncing arrow shows there is more below.

• fixed

  Pages read better on a phone: headings and text are sized for a small screen, the breadcrumb sits above the title on one tidy line, and the home page's tool list no longer scrolls sideways.

• fixed

  On a phone, the home page's quick links no longer touch the badges below them, and the menu button is now a plain icon.

• added

  Passport, visa and Indian form pages now show the country's flag beside the heading, and the document size list and related-country links show each country's flag.

• added

  Every tool page and guide now has a featured picture showing its size or format at a glance, with the country's flag on passport and visa pages.

• changed

  Every tool now opens with a one or two line summary under its heading, so the editor starts higher on the screen. The rest of the introduction follows the tool.

• added

  Thailand visa photo size, for the e-Visa upload and the paper embassy application, each with its own switcher option.

• fixed

  Every setting in the editor is now visible without scrolling a hidden panel, all the mode and rule buttons show on a phone instead of running off the edge, crop corners are no longer cut in half, and links across the site look like links.

• added

  There is now a page for the Singapore passport and IC photo, with a switcher for ICA's 400 x 514 pixel upload and the 35 x 45 mm print a paper form abroad takes.

• added

  There is now a page for the Japan visa photo, with a switcher for the 35 x 45 mm photo on MOFA's form and the 45 x 45 mm square the Embassy in India asks for. It says what the JAPAN eVISA accepts.

• added

  There is now a page for the Japanese passport photo, with a switcher for its three files: the 600 x 730 pixel upload for Mynaportal (up to 600 KB) or ORRnet abroad (20 KB to 2 MB), and the 35 x 45 mm print.

• added

  There is now a page for the Austrian passport photo: a 35 x 45 mm print on smooth glossy paper, light background, ideally grey, with the head no taller than 36 mm. It explains the eBild a photographer can send instead.

• fixed

  The guides index is now a list of cards with dates, links in articles look like links, section headings use the full column, and the remove EXIF and JPG to PDF tools have their controls properly spaced.

• added

  There is now a page for the Indonesian passport photo. It says the passport photo is taken for you at the immigration office or mission, and makes the form photo some missions still ask for: 3 x 4 cm or 3.5 x 4.5 cm, at 300 DPI.

• added

  There is now a page for the Malaysian passport photo. It says a counter applicant brings no photo, because staff take it live, and makes the one file that is supplied: a 35 x 50 mm JPG at 600 DPI, kept between 100 and 300 KB for a MyOnline Passport renewal and ready to print for a child under 4.

• added

  There is now a page for the Nepal passport photo. It says an e-passport applicant aged 5 or over brings no photo, because staff take it at the enrolment centre, and makes the 35 x 45 mm photo on plain white that a newborn or child under 5 needs.

• added

  There is now a page for the Bangladesh passport photo. It says an e-passport applicant aged 6 or over brings no photo, because it is taken at enrolment, and makes the 3R lab print (89 x 127 mm, grey background) that a child under 6 needs.

• added

  There is now a page for the China visa photo: a JPEG of 354 x 472 to 420 x 560 pixels and 40 to 120 KB for the online form, or a 33 x 48 mm paper photo. A switcher makes either one, since the two are different shapes.

• added

  There is now a page for the Australian visa photo you attach in ImmiAccount: a JPG between 70 KB and 3.5 MB, made here at the preferred 1200 x 1600 pixels. It says the background is neutral or light grey, and why a checklist may still say 45 x 35 mm.

• added

  There is now a page for the German visa photo: a 35 x 45 mm print at 600 dpi, made here at 827 x 1063 pixels. It says you still bring the print when applying online, and that the Foreign Office's guide prefers grey while some missions ask for white.

• added

  There is now a page for resizing a photo to 2000 x 2000. It says which photos are big enough without enlarging (the short side must reach 2000), gives the crop in pixels, and measures the file size on five photos: 457 KB to 695 KB.

• added

  There is now a page for resizing a photo to 1000 x 1000, with the crop worked out in pixels, a white border option for product shots, and the file size measured on five photos: 142 KB to 227 KB.

• added

  There is now a page for converting any image to JPG, with one photo measured in all seven formats the tool opens: a 9.08 MB PNG became a 1.14 MB JPG, while a WebP grew.

• added

  There is now a page for converting iPhone HEIC photos to PNG, in English and Spanish, with the file growth measured: a 1.2 MB test photo became a 10.2 MB PNG.
