# Images

> Modify images saved to your cPanel account: create thumbnails, resize, or convert file types in batch.

The Images tool in cPanel does three things to images already on your server: creates thumbnails, resizes them, or converts between formats. It runs across an entire directory at once, so it's built for batch jobs, not one-off edits.

Open it from cPanel home → **Files** → **Images**.

## The three tools

### Thumbnailer

Generates thumbnails from every image in a folder. Useful for galleries that need consistent preview sizes. Originals stay untouched; thumbnails save into a sub-folder.

### Scaler

Resizes images in a folder. Pick a width or height and Scaler updates the files in place.

<Warning>
  Scaler overwrites originals. Make a backup of the directory first if you want to keep the unscaled versions.
</Warning>

### Converter

Changes the file format of every image in a folder. Classic example: convert a folder of `.jpg` files to `.png`. Original files are replaced with the new format.

## When to use which

| You want to                                   | Use         |
| --------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| Generate previews while keeping originals     | Thumbnailer |
| Make every image fit a target size            | Scaler      |
| Switch all images in a folder to a new format | Converter   |

For one-off image edits or anything more complex (cropping, color correction), use a desktop tool. The Images section is built for batch operations.
