About Bad Quality Image Maker
This free tool is for people who want to deliberately degrade an image, whether for a meme, a believable repost, a smaller upload or a retro avatar. Users upload a PNG, JPG or WebP file and pick a look such as lower quality, blurry, pixelated, deep fried, faded, vintage, scratched or VHS, then adjust the strength with a slider.
Processing happens in the browser, so the photo is not sent to a server. The site says there is no signup, no subscription and no watermark, and results can be downloaded as JPG, PNG or WebP. It also offers a before and after comparison to check how much detail is kept.
The site lists sibling tools for video, GIF, batch processing and a degrader for separate control of pixels, blur and compression. It is a quick, single-purpose option for anyone who wants an image to look intentionally worse.
