About Image Tools
Once a photo or graphic is in the right format, it usually still needs work — a website wants a smaller file size, a form wants a cropped passport photo, a portfolio piece needs its background removed, a batch of camera photos needs the GPS metadata stripped before sharing. This collection covers compression, resizing, cropping, rotation, watermarking, background removal, and metadata inspection, all processed locally in your browser rather than uploaded to a server. Looking to change an image's file format instead? That's handled by the dedicated Image Converter category.
Why use these tools
- Batch processing across most tools means compressing, resizing, or watermarking dozens of images takes one pass, not one at a time.
- Background removal uses a genuine machine learning segmentation model, not a simple color-based cutout.
- Image metadata tools let you see exactly what's embedded in a photo — including GPS location — before deciding what to share or strip.
- Every edit happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded anywhere, and there's no account or signup required.

Frequently asked questions
Is image format conversion in this category?
No — converting between formats like JPG, PNG, WEBP, and HEIC has its own dedicated Image Converter category, with a page for every common format pair. This category covers editing operations: compressing, resizing, cropping, rotating, watermarking, removing backgrounds, and inspecting metadata.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Yes, batch processing is supported on most tools in this category — upload several images, apply your settings once, and download them individually or together as a ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere when I use these tools?
No. All image processing happens directly in your browser. The one exception is Remove Background, where the machine learning model itself (not your photo) downloads from a CDN the first time you use it — your image is never part of that request.
Can I check whether a photo contains my location before sharing it?
Yes, Image Metadata shows you exactly what's embedded in a photo file, including GPS coordinates if present, camera details, and color profile data — and lets you strip it all in one step if you'd rather not share it.
Does compressing or resizing an image change its format?
No, these tools keep the image in its original file format — only the file size or dimensions change. Use Image Converter if you also need to switch formats.
