image tools · nothing leaves your browser

Your photos never leave this device.

Every other image tool asks you to upload your pictures to someone's server first. These don't. The compressing and converting happens on your own machine, in this tab — your images never leave your device.

Why "no upload" is the whole point

Image tools are unusually personal. The reason someone is compressing a photo is often that they're sending it to a government portal, a landlord, an employer, or an insurance claim. The file frequently has their face in it, and the metadata has the coordinates of their house.

The usual arrangement is that you hand all of that to a company you've never heard of, which promises to delete it in an hour. Maybe it does. You have no way to check, and there's no version of that promise that's better than not sending the file at all.

Browsers have been able to do this work locally for years — decoding, resizing, and re-encoding images are all standard capabilities now. The reason most tools still upload isn't technical. It's that a server is easier to charge for.

How to check that I'm telling the truth

Don't take my word for it. Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use any tool on this site. The page and its fonts load, but your image itself is never sent anywhere — you won't see it uploaded, because the processing all happens in the tab you're looking at.

One honest exception: the HEIC converter downloads a decoding library the first time you use it, because HEIC support isn't built into browsers. That's a one-time download of the tool itself — your photo still stays put.

What this costs

Nothing, and there's no account. Since the processing happens on your computer rather than rented hardware, these pages cost roughly nothing to run, which is why there's no upsell and no file-size cap beyond what your own device can handle.
