Free Online Image Tools

Free browser-based image tools to compress, resize, convert, flip, rotate and recolor photos. Processing happens on your device — no uploads, no signup, and nothing is sent to a server — ideal for quick edits before posting online, sending by email or saving storage space.

All image tools below process your files using your browser's built-in canvas engine. Files are never uploaded, which keeps your photos private and the tools fast even on a slow connection.

How to Choose the Right Image Tool

Start with what you're trying to achieve. If a photo's file size is too large for email or a website upload, use Image Compressor to shrink it while keeping visible quality. If you need exact pixel dimensions — for a profile picture, thumbnail or print size — use Image Resizer. If the file format itself is the problem (a site only accepts JPG, or you need transparency that only PNG supports), use JPG to PNG or PNG to JPG.

For quick visual fixes, Image Flip & Rotate corrects sideways or mirrored photos, Image to Grayscale removes colour for a print-ready or stylistic black-and-white version, and Image Color Picker lets you click any pixel to read off its exact HEX, RGB or HSL value — useful when matching a brand colour from a logo or screenshot.

Common Use Cases

  • Shrinking photos for a website — Compress large camera photos before uploading them to a blog or online store, cutting page load time without a visible drop in quality.
  • Preparing a profile picture — Resize and crop an image to the exact square dimensions required by a social network or app.
  • Fixing a sideways phone photo — Rotate an image that was saved in the wrong orientation before sharing or printing it.
  • Matching a brand colour — Use the color picker to pull the exact HEX code from a logo so it matches perfectly in a design tool.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Compressing an already-compressed JPG repeatedly. Each time a JPG is re-saved, it loses a little more quality due to lossy compression. Where possible, compress from the original high-quality source file rather than a file that's already been compressed multiple times.
  • Resizing up instead of down. Enlarging a small image beyond its original resolution won't add real detail — it will just make existing pixels bigger and blurrier. These tools work best for reducing size, not manufacturing detail that isn't there.
  • Forgetting that PNG doesn't always mean smaller. PNG is lossless and often larger than JPG for photographs. Use PNG when you need transparency or crisp edges (logos, screenshots, graphics); use JPG for photographs where a small quality trade-off is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my photos uploaded when I use these tools?

No. All image processing uses your browser's built-in Canvas API, so images are read, edited and saved entirely on your own device.

What image formats are supported?

Most tools support JPG, PNG and WebP for input, with JPG and PNG as the most common export options. Individual tool pages list their exact supported formats.

Will I lose EXIF or metadata when editing an image?

Canvas-based processing typically strips EXIF metadata (like camera settings and GPS location) during export, which is often desirable for privacy when sharing photos online.

Can I use these tools on a phone?

Yes. All image tools are built with responsive, touch-friendly interfaces and work in mobile browsers as well as desktop.
