The problem

Images that weigh too much, and tools that send them elsewhere

An unoptimised image slows a page down more than anything else. Online converters ask you to upload your files to a server you know nothing about, and often to create an account.

What I built

The conversion happens on your own machine

You drop in up to 50 images, you pick the format and the quality, you get a file or a ZIP back. The work runs in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere.

What it changes

Lighter pages, without handing anything to anyone

Images ready for the web in seconds, with nothing to install, no account to start with, and no file leaving your device.

Key features

  • Four formatsJPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF in and out, with a quality setting per image
  • Batch processingUp to 50 files at once, processed in parallel, downloaded one by one or as a ZIP
  • Nothing leaves the browserThe conversion runs locally thanks to WebAssembly, no file is ever sent
  • A daily quota20 free conversions a day without an account, 200 on the Basic plan, unlimited on Pro
  • Card subscriptionPayment through Stripe, cancel in one click from your account, invoice with VAT
  • API and MCPThe Pro plan opens an API for scripts and pipelines, and MCP access for AI agents

Safeguards

No image is stored, during the conversion or after it. The account only serves the quota and the billing.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images sent anywhere?

No. The conversion happens in your browser, on your machine. No file passes through a server, during or after.

Why convert to WebP or AVIF?

Because those are the formats browsers display fastest for the same visual quality. A lighter page loads faster, and Google takes that into account in its ranking.

Do I need an account?

Not to start with: 20 conversions a day without signing up. An account raises the quota, through a monthly subscription with no minimum term, or gives access to the API.

Why build this tool?

To prepare the images for the sites I deliver without going through a third party. I wanted something simple, free for everyday use, that keeps nothing.
