I'm thrilled to launch SlimImg.tools today – a project born out of a simple need: a fast, private, and powerful way to compress images and manage their metadata without uploading them to a server.
We all know large images slow down websites and can be a pain to share. While many online tools exist, I was always a bit uneasy about uploading my images, especially sensitive ones, to third-party servers. Plus, I often wanted more control over EXIF data like location tags.
That's why I built SlimImg.tools! It's a completely browser-based image utility that puts you in control:
Key Features:
100% Local Processing: Your images are processed directly in your browser. No uploads, ever. This means super-fast operations and your privacy is completely respected.
Adjustable Compression: Fine-tune the quality percentuale and see a live preview to get the perfect balance between file size and visual fidelity for JPG, PNG, and WebP.
Powerful EXIF Management: View, edit, or completely strip EXIF metadata, including GPS location data, to protect your privacy.
Image Resizing: Easily resize images by pixels, percentage, or max dimension while keeping aspect ratio.
Format Conversion: Convert images between common formats (though EXIF preservation is best with JPEG output for now).
Batch Processing: Optimize multiple images with the same settings at once and download them as a ZIP.
Multiple Format Support: Works with JPG, PNG, WebP, and can read many others.
Light & Dark Mode: Adapts to your system or lets you choose.
Free & No Sign-up: Just drag, drop, and optimize!
Whether you're a developer optimizing site assets, a marketer prepping images for a campaign, a photographer managing metadata, or just someone who wants to quickly shrink a photo before emailing it, SlimImg.tools is designed to be your go-to.
I'd absolutely love for you to give it a try at https://slimimg.tools/ and let me know what you think! All feedback, suggestions, and questions are incredibly welcome – they'll help make SlimImg even better.
