Common errors & troubleshooting
Browser slows down or tab crashes
Cause: Too many huge camera photos in one batch.
Fix: Process 20–50 images at a time, or downscale more aggressively before a second pass.
Images look cropped unexpectedly
Cause: Square / landscape / portrait modes use cover-crop by default.
Fix: Switch fit mode to contain (letterbox) if you need the full image without cropping.
ZIP download is empty
Cause: Batch failed before files were encoded.
Fix: Check the error message, remove unsupported files, and run Batch Resize again.
Privacy and security
- Your input and generated output are processed locally and are not sent to our servers for tool execution.
- Opening a local file uses the browser File API; the file is not uploaded to UtilityKit.
- We may collect anonymous product analytics (for example page views). Tool contents are not included in those events.
- Processing is limited by your device memory and CPU — this is intentional for privacy.
- Upscaling cannot invent true detail; it only interpolates existing pixels.
- EXIF/GPS metadata is removed when images are re-encoded through canvas (desired for strip-metadata mode).
- Animated GIF/WebP frames are flattened to a still frame in batch resize modes.
Frequently asked questions
Does this permanently delete metadata from my originals?
No. Originals on disk are untouched. Only the exported copies are re-encoded without typical EXIF.
Is metadata removal perfect for every format?
Canvas re-encode removes common EXIF from raster exports. Keep originals if you need archival metadata.
Are files uploaded for scrubbing?
No. Scrubbing happens locally during export.
Can I only strip metadata without resizing?
Set width/height to the source size or 100% scale, then export — re-encoding still drops EXIF on the copy.
