General Questions
What is ImageTools?
ImageTools is a free, browser-based suite of image processing tools. We provide professional-quality image resizing, compression, format conversion, and passport photo creation—all without requiring uploads to our servers.
Is ImageTools really free?
Yes, completely free! There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium tiers. All features are available to everyone at no cost.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is needed. Simply visit our website and start using any tool immediately. We believe in keeping things simple and accessible.
What browsers are supported?
ImageTools works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser for the best experience.
Privacy & Security
Are my images uploaded to your servers?
No. All image processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Do you store or track my images?
Absolutely not. We don't store, track, or have any access to your images. Since processing happens locally in your browser, your images remain completely private.
Is it safe to process sensitive images?
Yes, it's completely safe. Because all processing happens on your device, you can confidently process confidential documents, personal photos, or any sensitive images.
Image Processing
What image formats are supported?
We support JPEG, PNG, WebP, and most common image formats as input. You can convert between JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats.
Is there a file size limit?
Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. Most modern devices can handle images up to 50-100MB without issues.
Will I lose image quality?
Quality depends on your settings. When resizing, we use high-quality algorithms. For compression, you control the quality level. Converting to lossless formats like PNG preserves all quality.
Can I process multiple images at once?
Currently, our tools process one image at a time to ensure the best quality and performance. However, you can quickly process multiple images sequentially.
Passport Photos
Which countries are supported?
We have pre-configured dimensions for US, UK, India, EU, and many other countries. You can also enter custom dimensions for any country not listed.
How many photos fit on one page?
This depends on the photo size and paper size. The tool automatically calculates and shows you how many photos will fit on your selected paper size (typically 8-12 photos on A4/Letter).
What resolution are the passport photos?
All passport photos are generated at 300 DPI (dots per inch), which is the professional printing standard and meets official passport photo requirements.
Can I use these for official applications?
Yes, our tool creates photos that meet official size requirements. However, please ensure your photo itself (lighting, background, expression) meets your country's specific passport photo guidelines.
Technical Questions
Do I need an internet connection?
You need an internet connection to load the website initially. However, once loaded, the image processing works offline since it happens in your browser.
Why is processing slow on my device?
Processing speed depends on your device's capabilities and the image size. Large images may take longer on older devices. For best performance, use a modern device and optimize very large images first.
Can I use ImageTools on mobile?
Yes! ImageTools is fully responsive and works on mobile devices. However, for the best experience with large images or complex operations, we recommend using a desktop or tablet.
