Microsoft adds image editing and compression to Windows Share
By ForGeeks Microsoft has recently been criticized for problems with the Windows 11 version 24H2 update. However, there is positive news regarding the Windows 11 update, as it reportedly includes new features related to image manipulation and editing.
As reported by user phantomofearth on the X platform, Microsoft is planning to add image editing and compression capabilities to the Windows Share feature, as mentioned by a Windows Report source. The feature will allow users to crop and adjust images without having to use the Snipping Tool, and will also provide file compression capabilities.
The feature will allow users to crop and adjust images without having to use the Snipping Tool, as well as provide file compression capabilities.
It’s worth noting that this functionality was discovered in the Windows 11 beta version 23H2. While Microsoft continues to update previous versions of Windows 11, the feature is not yet available to all users. It is also unclear whether these useful tools will be limited to version 23H2 only or will be included in future updates. It’s a move that will make it much easier to share images, especially large images.
In addition, the screenshot tool in Windows 11 has a new time-saving feature. Microsoft is also making improvements to the operating system’s Start menu, while offering new file sharing options.
It would be handy if the compression capabilities also extended to videos and other files, allowing users to eliminate the need to find third-party websites to do the task. While we should probably wait for the full implementation of these features in 23H2 or future updates, users can get early access to this functionality by joining the Windows Insider program to test the beta version of 23H2.
