Artwork Image Prep. Prepare Artwork Images for Portfolio Submissions
Upload your artwork images and download them ready for gallery and residency submissions. Files are resized to a 2000px long edge, converted to sRGB JPEG, and never upscaled. No account. No upload. Runs entirely in your browser.
What it does
Drop in a batch of artwork images, let the browser process them locally, and download a single ZIP with portfolio-ready JPEGs.
Each image is handled independently. Long edges are capped at 2000px, smaller files keep their original size, and the output filenames are cleaned up so you can identify them immediately.
Why these specs
2000px long edge is the practical middle ground for submissions: large enough for review, small enough for fast uploads and predictable portal handling.
sRGB is the safest color space for screens, submission systems and most print workflows. JPEG at quality 92 keeps detail without making every file unnecessarily heavy.
Preparing artwork images for gallery and residency submissions
Many galleries, residencies, grants and open calls ask artists to submit JPEG images with file size limits and specific formatting requirements.
This tool prepares artwork images for portfolio submissions by resizing oversized files, converting them to sRGB JPEG and keeping image dimensions consistent across a submission set.
Artwork image preparation example
A typical submission set might contain 15 artwork images exported from different cameras and editing applications.
The tool converts them into consistent sRGB JPEG files, resizes oversized images to 2000px on the long edge and packages everything into a ZIP ready for upload.
What gets changed
Resize to 2000px
The long edge is capped at 2000px. Portrait and landscape images are both handled correctly. Images smaller than 2000px are never upscaled.
sRGB conversion
Exported images stay in the browser and are written as standard sRGB JPEGs for predictable output.
JPEG at quality 92
Sharp enough for review and submission, while keeping file sizes practical for portals and email.
Clean filenames
Each file is renamed [original-name]-prep.jpg so the processed images are easy to identify.
No upload, no account
Your images never leave your device. Processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is sent to a server, and the ZIP is available immediately after processing.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tool upload my images to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser. The images are processed locally on your device and never uploaded.
What size should artwork images be for portfolio submissions?
Most galleries, residencies and open calls accept artwork images around 1500–2500px on the long edge. 2000px is a practical standard that balances image quality and file size.
How do I prepare images for an artist portfolio?
Artwork images should be consistently sized, correctly named, exported in sRGB and compressed enough for online submissions. This tool automates those steps in one batch process.
What does 2000px long edge mean?
The longest side of each image is capped at 2000 pixels. Portrait and landscape images are handled correctly, and images smaller than 2000px are never upscaled.
Why sRGB for portfolio submissions?
Most submission portals, printers and gallery screens expect sRGB. Other profiles can display incorrectly or shift colors on export.
What file formats can I upload?
JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported in every modern browser. TIFF and HEIC are supported only when the browser can decode them.
