About Image Tools
Most image jobs are small and annoying. A photo is 8 MB and the upload form caps at 2. A logo is a PNG and the platform wants SVG. A screenshot has a phone number in it that should not be there. None of that needs Photoshop, and none of it needs a server.
Every tool on this page runs inside your browser using the Canvas and File APIs. Your image is read from disk into memory, changed, and written back out — it is never transmitted anywhere. That matters more than it sounds: photographs carry EXIF metadata including the exact GPS coordinates where they were taken, so a holiday snap uploaded to a random compression site is also a location disclosure.
Because there is no upload step, the work is instant and there is no queue, no file-size ceiling beyond your own memory, and no watermark added to the result.
Which tool do you need?
- Making a file smaller
- Use the Image Compressor if the pixel dimensions are fine and only the file size is a problem. Use the Image Resizer if the image is physically larger than it needs to be — dropping a 4000px photo to 1200px usually saves more than any amount of compression.
- Changing the format
- The Image Converter handles JPG, PNG, WebP and BMP. WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visible quality, so it is the better choice for the web unless you need to support something ancient.
- Reframing
- The Image Cropper cuts to an exact ratio, which is what you want for a profile picture or a platform that enforces dimensions. The Aspect Ratio Calculator works out the numbers first if you are unsure.
- Privacy
- The EXIF Viewer shows what a photo is actually carrying — camera, timestamps, GPS. The EXIF Remover strips it. Blur Image covers faces, licence plates and anything else that should not be readable.
- Protecting your work
- Image Watermark puts a text or logo mark over a photo before you publish it.
If you only remember one thing: check a photo with the EXIF Viewer before you post it publicly. It takes two seconds and it is the single most common accidental privacy leak in ordinary image sharing.
Frequently asked
Do my images get uploaded when I use these tools?
No. Every image tool here reads your file with the browser's File API, works on it with the Canvas API, and hands the result straight back as a download. No request carrying the image is ever made, which you can confirm in your browser's network tab.
Will compressing an image visibly damage it?
At sensible settings, no. JPEG and WebP compression discards detail your eye is poor at noticing, and a 60–80% quality setting is usually indistinguishable from the original at normal viewing size. If the image is physically larger than it needs to be, resizing it first saves far more than compression ever will, and costs no visible quality at all.
What is EXIF data, and should I strip it?
EXIF is metadata your camera writes into the file: model, lens, exposure, timestamp, and — if location services were on — the exact GPS coordinates. Strip it before posting anything publicly. Use the EXIF Viewer to see what a photo is carrying and the EXIF Remover to clear it.
JPG, PNG or WebP — which should I use?
WebP for the web: it is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visible quality and every current browser supports it. PNG when you need transparency or crisp flat colour like a logo or screenshot. JPG when something old has to open the file.
Is there a file size limit?
None that we impose. The ceiling is your device's memory, since the whole image is held in the browser. A phone will manage ordinary photos comfortably; a very large scan is happier on a desktop.
