Features

Compress To An Exact Size

Type “100 KB” and the quality is searched until the file lands under it. The thing every college portal, exam form and government site asks for — without uploading your documents to a stranger to find out.

Open HEIC On Windows

iPhone photos open here without buying anything from the Microsoft Store. Drop the folder and the thumbnails appear before a single file has been converted.

A Real Photo Viewer

Click any picture to see it full size, arrow keys to page through the album. One photo is decoded at a time, so a four-hundred-photo folder does not choke the tab.

Real Redaction

Black out an account number, an address, a face. Blur, pixelate or solid block — and the pixels are destroyed in the exported file, not hidden under a box a reader could lift off.

Passport & Visa Photos

Nine specifications — India, US, Schengen, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE and China. Mark the head, get a print sheet, take it to any shop that prints a 4×6.

Keep The Date, Drop The Location

Capture date and camera survive the conversion, so your library does not silently re-sort to today. Strip the GPS on its own before posting a photo publicly.

Edit Before You Send

Crop with aspect locks, straighten by a fraction of a degree, rotate, flip, and adjust brightness, contrast, colour and warmth — with a one-press Auto.

Combine Into One PDF

The submit-my-marksheets job. Several photos, one PDF, page size and margins of your choosing, without uploading your academic records anywhere.

Nothing Leaves Your Device

No account, no upload, no server. It installs as an app and keeps working with the network switched off, because everything already runs in the tab.

How it works

1. Drop the folder: Photos or a whole folder. The thumbnails appear immediately, HEIC included, before anything is converted.
2. Pick what you need: View them full size, tidy one up, or go straight to the passport tool.
3. Say what it has to fit: A format, a size in KB, a maximum edge in pixels. Keep the capture date, drop the location.
4. Take the file: Saved into a folder you choose, downloaded as a zip, or combined into a single PDF.

The size limit every form asks for

Under 100 KB. Between 20 and 50 KB. Maximum 200 × 230 pixels. Somebody decided this years ago and now everyone lives with it — and the usual answer is to upload your own marksheet or passport page to an ad-funded website and hope. Type the number instead. The quality is searched until the file fits, the metadata is counted towards the limit rather than forgotten, and you see the before and after side by side with both file sizes.

• Ask for a size in KB and get a file under it
• Cap the longest edge in pixels when a portal demands that too
• Before and after, with both sizes, so compression is not an act of faith
• Save the settings — the same portal asks again next term

Your phone’s photos, on the computer you already own

An iPhone saves HEIC. Windows asks you to buy a codec before Photos will show it. That is the entire reason a hundred converter sites exist, all of them wanting your pictures uploaded first. This one decodes in the browser tab: drop a folder — subfolders included — and the thumbnails appear before anything has been converted, which is usually all anyone wanted. Convert to JPEG, PNG or WebP only if you actually need a file at the end.

• HEIC and HEIF, plus JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and GIF
• Whole folders, including subfolders, not ten files at a time
• Sort by date taken, name or size; filter down to just the HEICs
• Spots a file whose extension is lying about what it really is

Redact it before you send it, not after

Most of the photos people send anyone are photos of documents — a bank page, a tenancy contract, an ID with a number on it that the other side does not need. Draw over what should not travel and it is gone from the exported pixels: blurred, pixelated or blacked out for good. Not a rectangle laid on top of readable content, which is the trick that keeps ending up in the news. Rotate the photo afterwards and the cover turns with it.

• Blur, pixelate or a solid block, whichever suits the page
• Destroyed in the exported file — there is nothing underneath to recover
• Covers stay on what they cover, even after a rotation
• Strip the GPS in the same pass, so the file gives away neither

Passport photos: the geometry, honestly

A studio charges for a sitting and eight prints. A phone photo and a 4×6 at the corner shop costs one print. Mark the crown of the head and the chin, pick the document, and the crop, scale and position are computed from the head measurement — the thing authorities actually check. A live meter shows the print resolution, so a face photographed from across the room is flagged as too soft before it is printed rather than after.

• Nine specs, each carrying the source it was taken from
• The print sheet defaults to the cheapest paper that yields six copies
• A PDF, because it carries its physical size — a shop cannot silently rescale it
• It promises geometry, not acceptance: lighting, expression and background are still yours to get right

In numbers

• 100 KB Or whatever the form asks for — typed in, not guessed at
• 9 Passport and visa specifications, each with its source
• 0 Photos uploaded, accounts made or codecs bought

At a glance

Why we built it

Two problems, one afternoon. Windows will not open the photo your phone just took unless you buy a codec, and the form you are filling in will not accept it unless it is under a hundred kilobytes. It is the same person, the same five minutes, and usually the same photo — the visa picture you need is a HEIC your laptop refuses to show you. So it is one app. Open it, see the photos, make the file the form actually wants, and never hand your documents to a stranger’s server to do it.
