Image tools

Compress, resize and change format without uploading photos.

Nothing is uploaded. This tool runs entirely inside your browser tab. Your files and figures stay on your device - we never receive them, so we cannot read, store or lose them.

Your photos never leave your device

Every other popular image tool uploads your file, processes it on a server and sends it back. Their privacy policies describe how long the copy is kept. These tools decode and re-encode entirely in your browser, so no copy is ever made anywhere else - which is what makes them usable for client work, identity documents and anything under an NDA.

Quality where it is easy to cut corners

Downscaling in a single step produces aliasing on detailed images, because the browser samples widely spaced pixels and drops everything between them. Both the resizer and the compressor downscale in halving steps instead, which averages neighbouring pixels and keeps fine texture clean.

Encoder support is also checked before conversion. A canvas silently falls back to PNG when asked for a format it cannot write, which would hand you a large PNG named .avif. These tools probe first and say plainly if a format is unavailable.

Compressing to a specific size

When an upload form caps a file at 2 MB or a job portal at 500 KB, the compressor can target an exact size. It bisects the quality setting until the result fits, giving you the best quality that stays under the ceiling.

Metadata

Re-encoding drops EXIF data, including GPS coordinates recorded at capture. For anything published publicly that is a privacy improvement - location data embedded in a photo is a real disclosure. Keep your originals if you need the metadata.
