Your pictures never leave your browser
Other image sites upload your photo to a server, then watermark it, cap how many you can do, or ask you to pay. This one uses your browser’s own image engine, so nothing is transmitted — and because there is no library to download, these pages work with no connection at all, from the very first visit.
Are these really free?
Yes. No account, no paid tier, no usage limit and no watermark on the result. They exist because the common alternatives do at least one of those things.
Do my pictures get uploaded?
No. Every tool decodes and re-encodes the file inside your browser and hands the result straight to your downloads. Nothing is transmitted at any point.
Which formats can they read and write?
They read PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP and SVG, and write PNG, JPG and WebP. AVIF is missing from the output list because browsers can read it but not write it — asked for one, Chrome quietly returns a PNG under an AVIF name, and shipping that would be dishonest.
Why will my iPhone photos not open?
Because they are HEIC, Apple’s own format, which only Safari can decode. Either open these pages in Safari, or set Settings → Camera → Formats to “Most Compatible” on the phone so it saves JPEGs instead.
Is there a size limit?
None is imposed. The practical ceiling is your device’s memory — the browser refuses a canvas beyond about 268 million pixels, and these tools tell you when a picture crosses it rather than producing a blank result.
Do the results keep my EXIF data?
No. Re-encoding drops the metadata, so camera model, timestamp and GPS position are not carried into the new file — usually what you want before publishing a photo. Orientation is read and applied first, so nothing comes out sideways. Keep your original if you need the data.
