About Image Tools

Resize, compress, crop, convert and edit images — all in your browser

Photos, screenshots, social-media graphics and product images all need lightweight, on-demand editing — and uploading sensitive images to random websites is a privacy nightmare. ToolsRift hosts 50+ image tools that run entirely in your browser, so your photos never leave your device. Resize a screenshot before pasting it into a doc, compress a hero image before uploading to your CMS, convert a HEIC photo to JPEG, or apply a quick filter — all in a few seconds, with no upload.

The collection covers the most common operations: resize (by pixels, percentage or to fit), compress (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF with quality slider), crop (free, square, 16:9, custom ratio), rotate and flip, convert between formats (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, BMP, GIF, SVG raster), filters (brightness, contrast, saturation, sepia, grayscale, blur), watermark, background remover, image-to-Base64, color extractor, EXIF viewer and stripper, and many more.

Every operation uses the browser's native Canvas API or WebAssembly libraries — the same quality you would get from a desktop editor, with zero installation.

Why ToolsRift

Why our image tools are different

Most online image tools upload your image to a server, process it there, and then let you download the result. That means your image — possibly a screenshot of confidential data, a private photo, or a client deliverable — is sitting on someone else's disk, often with no clear retention policy. ToolsRift never uploads your images. Drag a file onto any tool and the editing happens 100% in your browser, with the image data living only in memory.

We also support modern formats that most sites still do not: HEIC from iPhones, AVIF for next-gen compression, raw WebP, and animated GIFs and APNGs. The compressor honors EXIF orientation, preserves color profiles where possible, and gives you a live before/after slider so you can dial in the exact quality you need.

How It Works

How to use image tools

1
Drop your image onto the tool
Drag a file from your desktop, paste from clipboard, or click to browse. Multiple files are supported for batch tools.
2
Adjust the settings
For resize, enter new dimensions or a percentage. For compress, drag the quality slider and watch the file-size estimate update live. For crop, drag the corners or pick a preset ratio.
3
Preview the result
A live before/after comparison shows you exactly what the output will look like. Most tools update preview in real time as you adjust.
4
Download the processed image
Click download to save the result. Batch tools offer a single zip download. Original filenames are preserved with a suffix (-resized, -compressed, etc.) so you do not lose track.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our image tools.

Are my images really not uploaded?+
Confirmed. All image processing happens in your browser using Canvas, WebAssembly and JavaScript. You can verify by opening DevTools → Network and watching that no requests are made when you process an image. The image data never leaves your device.
What's the maximum image size I can process?+
Limited only by your browser's memory. Modern laptops handle 50+ megapixel images comfortably. For extremely large images (200MP+), some tools may take a moment but will not crash. Mobile devices have lower limits — about 16-32MP for most operations.
Can I convert HEIC photos from my iPhone?+
Yes. The HEIC converter handles iPhone photos and produces JPEG, PNG or WebP output that works everywhere. Batch conversion is supported — drop multiple HEICs and download a zip of JPEGs.
Does the background remover need an account?+
No. The background remover uses an in-browser machine learning model (loaded once on first use). Subsequent removals are instant and entirely offline. There is no account, no upload, and no per-image fee.
Will compression hurt image quality?+
You control the tradeoff. The compress tool shows a live preview at your chosen quality so you can find the sweet spot. JPEG quality 80-85 usually halves file size with no visible quality loss; WebP and AVIF compress even better at the same visual quality.
