Image & Media Tools – Free Online Photo Editing

What's in this category?

The two most-used tools are the size optimisers. The Image Compressor reduces JPG, PNG and WebP files by up to 80% with a quality slider, perfect for emailing photos or speeding up a website. The Image Resizer changes dimensions by exact pixels or by percentage, with an optional aspect-ratio lock — useful for fitting profile-picture requirements or printing at a specific size.

Format converters cover the awkward cases: JPG to PNG for when you need lossless or transparency, and HEIC to JPG for the iPhone photos that won't open everywhere. The Background Remover uses a local AI model to cut out the subject and saves a transparent PNG — no upload required, which makes it suitable for product photography, portraits and team headshots.

The Image Editor handles crop, rotate and flip operations on any JPG/PNG/WebP. The OCR Tool extracts editable text from photos and scanned documents in dozens of languages — handy when you need to copy text from a screenshot or a PDF that wasn't searchable.

For motion: the GIF Maker converts an MP4, MOV or WebM clip into a looping GIF with adjustable size and frame rate, while Video to MP3 / Trim uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly to extract 192 kbps audio or cut a clip to a chosen time range — all without leaving the browser.

How private are these tools?

Privacy is the design constraint, not an afterthought. Compression and resizing run on the HTML5 Canvas; HEIC and PNG conversions use WebAssembly libraries that decode in-page; the background remover runs a small ONNX model client-side; OCR uses Tesseract.js; and the GIF maker plus Video to MP3 use FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. None of these uploads your file to a server. The only network request is the one-time download of the WebAssembly binary, which is then cached.
