file4edit: A Privacy-First Image Workbench
A browser-based toolkit for converting, resizing, compressing, inspecting, and reshaping images, PDFs, SVGs, and video frames.
Field notes
The homepage organizes 57 browser tools into categories covering image conversion, PDF handling, enhancement, effects, extraction, and file inspection. It describes a local workflow in which files are decoded and re-encoded on the user’s machine, with Web Workers intended to keep batches responsive; a batch of fifty files is used as an example. Format coverage includes PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, PDF, and several less common outputs, while AVIF encoding is limited by browser support.
