Images Tools
A complete image workbench that runs on your device: convert between formats, compress for the web, resize and crop to spec, pull text out of screenshots, remove backgrounds with an on-device AI model, and strip hidden metadata before sharing. Nothing you drop here is uploaded — including the photos with GPS coordinates still embedded in them.
Which Images Tool Do I Need?
In our measured benchmark, a 2.9 MB photo came out at 486 KB — 83% smaller — in about two seconds.
Convert between JPG, PNG, and WebP locally. WebP is usually the right answer for web publishing.
Scale to precise pixel dimensions with the aspect ratio locked or free.
Freeform or fixed-ratio crops with a live preview.
Runs the RMBG AI model in your browser. First use downloads the model (~170 MB, cached after); your photo itself never leaves the device.
On-device OCR turns screenshots, photos, and scans into selectable, editable text.
AI upscaling (Swin2SR) reconstructs detail rather than just stretching pixels.
Photos routinely embed GPS coordinates, device model, and timestamps. This strips all of it — locally, which is rather the point.
Why These Tools Run in Your Browser
Photos are personal in a way most files aren't: they contain faces, places, and — via EXIF metadata — often the exact coordinates of your home. Uploading them to a converter site means trusting an unknown server with all of that. Processing them locally means there is nothing to trust: the canvas and WebAssembly APIs in your browser do the work, and the AI-powered tools (background removal, OCR, upscaling) download their models to your device instead of sending your image to a model.
It's fast, too — for most operations the round-trip to a server costs more time than the processing itself. We timed it and published the numbers in our Speed Benchmark.
Don’t take the privacy claim on faith — we published a network-level verification in the Privacy Audit and measured processing speed in the Speed Benchmark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which format should I use — JPG, PNG, or WebP?
WebP for web publishing (smallest at equal quality, universally supported since 2020). JPG for maximum compatibility with older software and photo prints. PNG when you need lossless quality or transparency — logos, screenshots, UI assets.
Why do the AI tools download something on first use?
Tools like Background Remover and Image Upscaler run real neural networks, and those models are too large to bundle into the page. On first use the model downloads from a public CDN to your browser and is cached; your image is never part of that traffic. We documented the exact network requests in the Privacy Audit.
Do these tools reduce image quality?
Only the ones whose job is lossy — compression and format conversion — and both show you the output before you download it. Resizing, cropping, EXIF removal, and PNG-to-ICO conversion don't recompress beyond what the operation itself requires.
Is there a batch limit?
No plan tiers or daily caps. Very large batches are limited only by your device's memory — a few hundred photos at once is realistic on a modern laptop.
