No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded, and we never see it.
MyERAS rejects photo files over 150 KB. Most phone photos and photographer exports are several megabytes, so they need to be resized and compressed before uploading. This tool does both and stays within the limit automatically.
DPI is a print-density label stored inside the file. ERAS asks for 2.5 x 3.5 inches at 150 DPI, which works out to 375 x 525 pixels. This tool exports exactly those pixel dimensions and stamps the file at 150 DPI.
