Images
Pour quoi faire?
Format et qualité
Plus bas : plus léger. Plus haut : plus fidèle.
Taille
L’image remplit tout le cadre, centrée ; le surplus est coupé (comme un recadrage automatique).
Une image n’est jamais agrandie (sauf en réseaux sociaux, où la taille est fixe). Les données cachées (lieu de la prise de vue, appareil) sont retirées.
Noms des fichiers
Exemplemarque-sujet-lieu-01.webp
Minuscules, sans accents ni espaces, avec des tirets : ce que lisent les moteurs de recherche.
Aucune image pour l’instant. Déposez-en n’importe où sur cette page, ou ouvrez « Images » à gauche pour les choisir.
“IMG_4521.JPG” tells Google nothing. Give all your images a clear name, in lower case with hyphens, in one go: brand, subject, place and number.
How it works
- Drop your images in the box, or click to choose them. You can add as many as you like.
- Fill in brand, subject and place under “File names”: each image gets a clear, numbered name. Adjust quality, size or file names if needed.
- Download each image or the whole batch. In Easy mode they are ready right away; in Manual mode, click “Convert” first.
Easy or manual
To convert quickly: drop your files and choose what they are for. Everything else is set for you.
To set everything yourself: format, quality, sizes, file names. Your choices are kept for next time.
Good to know
Names are cleaned automatically: lower case, no accents or spaces, words separated by hyphens, number at the end. Each name can still be edited by hand, and the alt text typed under each image goes into the HTML code and the summary spreadsheet in the zip.
Frequently asked questions
Does an image’s file name matter for Google?
Yes: Google recommends descriptive file names. Together with alt text, they help it understand the image and show it in Google Images.
Should I convert the images too?
It’s a good idea: a lighter image speeds up the page, which also matters for SEO. The “Website” use (WebP, 1920 pixels) is already selected.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion is done by your browser, on your computer: no file ever leaves your device. You can even go offline once the page has loaded.
Is it free?
Yes: no sign-up, no limit on the number of files and no watermark.
