These free image tools handle the everyday fixes that do not need a full photo editor: making a picture lighter, changing its size, cutting it to shape, removing or replacing the background, and hiding faces before you share. No signup, no watermark and nothing to install.
Almost everything runs in your browser. Resizing, cropping, background removal, face blurring and JPG or WebP compression all happen on your own device. Only PNG compression uses the FileKiwi server, and each file is deleted right after processing. Every tool works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android.
Which image tools do you need?
| You want to | Use | Where it runs |
|---|---|---|
| Make a photo lighter for email or a form | Compress Image | Browser (PNG on server, deleted after) |
| Change width and height | Resize Image | Your browser |
| Cut a photo to a square or 16:9 | Crop Image | Your browser |
| Get a transparent cutout | Remove Background | Your browser |
| Put a product on plain white | White Background | Your browser |
| Create a soft portrait look | Blur Background | Your browser |
| Hide faces and license plates | Blur Face | Your browser |
The background and face tools use AI models that run on your device. The first time you open one, the model downloads once and is cached, so later photos are processed faster.
Working on a strict upload form? Size presets for 20 KB, 50 KB and 100 KB find the highest quality that still fits the limit, and only reduce the pixel dimensions when quality alone is not enough. That saves you from guessing settings over and over.
A smart order for editing photos
When one picture needs several fixes, doing them in the right order keeps quality high and files small.
- Crop first, so you only keep the part you need.
- Fix the background or blur faces next, while the photo still has full detail. Remove Background is a good place to start.
- Resize to the dimensions the website or form asks for.
- Compress last, once. Use Compress Image or a size preset like 50 KB.
