A browser-based toolkit for converting, compressing, resizing, and editing images on your device.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.

For: People converting or optimizing images without uploading them
Worth noticing: The page names MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif, and oxipng as encoders compiled to run in the browser.

Field notes

The homepage offers file selection, drag-and-drop, and Ctrl+V paste, and says the browser handles conversion and editing with WebAssembly. It names MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif, and oxipng among the libraries used. The stated batch and file-size limits are framed as protection against browser memory exhaustion, rather than commercial restrictions.
