Why I built this

I was getting frustrated with most online image editing tools. Almost all of them:

  • force you to sign up
  • upload your images to their servers
  • add watermarks
  • feel slow and bloated

For quick tasks like resizing or compressing an image, this felt unnecessary. So I decided to build my own.

What I built

I built a free, browser‑based image editing website where everything runs client‑side. That means:

  • 🚫 No signups
  • 🚫 No uploads to servers
  • 🚫 No watermarks
  • ✅ Your images never leave your device

The goal was simple: fast tools for common image tasks, without compromising privacy.

Features (so far)

Right now the site includes:

  • Image Compressor – reduce file size without visible quality loss
  • Image Resizer – resize images to custom dimensions or presets
  • Background Remover – remove backgrounds directly in the browser

Everything runs using modern browser APIs and client‑side processing.
