mediabako.com Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free Japanese toolkit for compressing, converting, resizing, annotating, and editing images, PDFs, and videos without uploading files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

MediaBako groups local processing for three media classes rather than sending files to a conventional upload-and-convert service. Its image section covers JPEG, WebP, and AVIF output, batch ZIP downloads, annotations, and EXIF stripping; the video section includes a 0.25×–4× speed range, clip joining, and audio-only extraction. The homepage gives approximate operating guidance of 30MB per image and 500MB total for video, with actual limits dependent on device memory.
