100% secure. No server uploads.
Privacy First: Your files never leave your device
Are my images uploaded to your servers?
No. Privacy is our top priority. All image resizing, compression, and conversion happens entirely on your local device (computer or smartphone) using HTML5 and WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your browser.
Is this tool completely free?
Yes! Because we process images on your device rather than paying for expensive cloud computing, we can offer our entire suite of tools completely free of charge, with no watermarks and no daily upload limits.
What image formats do you support?
We currently support reading and converting between all major web and print formats including JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP, TIFF, HEIC (iPhone photos), and standard camera RAW formats (CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG).
Will compressing an image ruin its quality?
Our tools use smart, lossy-to-lossless algorithms. Compressing reduces the file size (KB) by removing data the human eye cannot easily perceive. You can drastically shrink a file's size while keeping the visual quality incredibly high for web viewing.
Is there a file size limit?
Because there is no actual 'upload' to an internet server, the only limit is the RAM (memory) on your specific device. Most modern computers and smartphones can easily process massive 50MB+ RAW camera files instantly.
Does this work on mobile phones?
Absolutely. Our platform is fully responsive and works directly in Safari (iOS) and Chrome (Android). You do not need to download or install any apps from the App Store.
Do you strip hidden metadata (EXIF) from photos?
Yes. To protect your privacy and reduce the final file size, our conversion tools automatically strip hidden EXIF metadata—such as GPS location coordinates and camera serial numbers—from your exported images.
How do I hit an exact KB file size requirement?
Navigate to our 'Compress' tools. There is a 'Target File Size' box where you can type in your exact requirement (e.g., 200KB for a resume, or 240KB for a US Passport). The algorithm will optimize the photo to land just under that limit.
