What is it?
Free, private image tools that run entirely in your browser. Compress, resize, convert, crop, and watermark — your images never leave your device. Batch processing and ZIP download on all tools.
Why it exists: iLoveIMG gets 22M monthly visits. Photopea earns $2.8M/yr as a solo developer. Image tools have the broadest possible audience — literally everyone who works with images. Competitors upload to servers. We don’t.
Why AI can’t replace it: ChatGPT cannot compress your JPEG or crop your PNG. File processing requires real tools, not chat interfaces.
Tools (6)
- Image Compressor — JPEG/PNG/WebP quality control with before/after comparison
- Image Resizer — exact dimensions, percentage, social media presets (Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn)
- Image Converter — convert between JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats
- Image Cropper — freeform and aspect ratio presets (1:1, 4:3, 16:9)
- Watermark — add text or image watermarks with position, opacity, and tiling controls
- Flip & Rotate — flip horizontal/vertical, rotate 90/180/270, custom angle slider
