About

This site exists because most image compression and conversion tools fall into one of two camps: they upload your photo to a server somewhere before doing anything with it, or they're general-purpose enough that they don't really solve any one problem well. Neither felt right for the specific, recurring problems that actually bring people here — a form that rejects anything over 20KB, an iPhone photo that won't open on a Windows PC, a screenshot that's inexplicably ten times bigger than it should be.

So this site is built around a small number of tools, each aimed at one specific task, each doing its actual image processing — decoding, compressing, converting — entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. No image you process here is ever uploaded anywhere. That's not a privacy feature bolted on after the fact; it's the only way these tools were built, because there was never a server-side image pipeline to begin with.

Why so few tools?

Deliberately. Rather than generating hundreds of near-identical pages for every possible format combination, this site sticks to a focused set of tools that cover the situations people actually run into, each with real, specific writing about that exact problem rather than templated copy with the keywords swapped out. If a tool you need doesn't exist here yet, it's more likely to get added once there's a clear, specific reason for it than as part of a bulk expansion.

Who's behind this

This is an independently run site, not a product of a larger company. If you have feedback, found a bug, or want to suggest a tool, the contact page has the details.
