Free Online Image Tools That Run in Your Browser
Img Hut is a small set of focused tools for everyday image jobs: making a photo smaller, changing its dimensions, cropping it, converting between formats, encoding it as Base64 and creating favicons. Every tool processes your picture on your own device.
All image tools
Compress Image
Reduce JPG, PNG or WebP file size by re-encoding at the quality you choose, with a before-and-after comparison.
Resize Image
Change width and height in pixels or by percentage, with an aspect-ratio lock and smooth downscaling.
Crop Image
Draw a selection freely or lock it to 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 and other ratios, and see its exact size in pixels.
PNG to JPG
Convert PNG to JPG with adjustable quality and your choice of background color for transparent areas.
JPG to PNG
Save a JPG as a lossless PNG so that further edits do not add new compression damage.
Image to Base64
Encode an image as raw Base64, a data URI, a CSS background or an HTML img tag.
Favicon Generator
Create favicon.ico, 16/32/48 px PNG favicons, an Apple touch icon and 192/512 px app icons.
Why the tools run in your browser
Most online converters upload your file to a server, process it there and send it back. Img Hut does the work with the HTML5 Canvas API built into every modern browser instead:
- Privacy. Photos, scans and screenshots never leave your computer or phone, so there is nothing for us to store or leak.
- No upload queue. Results appear as soon as your device has finished the work, and a loaded tool keeps working offline.
- No account, no watermark, no daily limit.
The trade-off is that processing uses your device’s memory, so very large pictures can be slow on older phones, and output is limited to the formats browsers can encode: JPEG, PNG and, in most browsers, WebP. Each tool page explains how it works and where its limits are.
Which tool do you need?
- “The file is too big to upload or email.” If the photo has more pixels than it will be shown at, start with Resize Image, then use Compress Image to lower the file size further.
- “The picture has the wrong shape.” Crop Image has presets for square, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 and other common ratios.
- “The form only accepts JPG” or “…only PNG”. Use PNG to JPG or JPG to PNG.
- “I need the image inside my code.” Image to Base64 gives you a data URI, a CSS rule or an HTML tag.
- “I am launching a website.” The Favicon Generator creates the tab icon, the Apple touch icon and app icons in one go.
A quick guide to image formats
JPG suits photographs: small files, but no transparency and blurry edges on text. PNG is lossless, ideal for screenshots, logos and transparent images, but very large for photos. WebP does both jobs, usually in fewer bytes, which makes it a strong default for websites, although some older programs and upload forms reject it. See JPG vs PNG vs WebP for details.
