About PicTools
We are on a mission to make image editing accessible to everyone. No expensive software, no complicated interfaces — just simple, powerful tools that work right in your browser.
Why PicTools?
We built PicTools because we were tired of image tools that require you to create an account, upload your personal photos to unknown servers, or pay for features that should be free. Whether you are a student working on a school project, a small business owner updating your website, or a developer who just needs to quickly resize an image — PicTools is for you.
Every tool on PicTools is completely free to use. There are no hidden premium tiers, no watermarks on your output, and no limits on how many images you can process. We sustain the project through unobtrusive advertising.
What Makes Us Different
100% Free
Every tool, every feature, completely free. No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no limits.

Images are processed locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
No Signup
Start using tools instantly, no account needed. No email, no password, no hassle.
Works on Mobile
Fully responsive design that works seamlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops.
How It Works
PicTools leverages modern browser technologies to process images entirely on your device. When you upload an image to any of our tools, it stays in your browser's memory — nothing is sent over the network.
We use the HTML5 Canvas API for image manipulation, WebAssembly for computationally intensive tasks like advanced compression, and Web Workers to keep the interface responsive even when processing large files. The result is a fast, private, and reliable experience.
Your Privacy Matters
We cannot stress this enough: your images never leave your device. There is no server-side processing, no temporary storage, and no way for us to access the files you work with. When you close the browser tab, your image data is gone.
This is not just a feature — it is a core principle of how PicTools is built. We believe privacy should be the default, not an upgrade you have to pay for. Read our full Privacy Policy for more details.
