Why it matters that these run on your device
Photos are some of the most personal files you have. Besides the faces and places in the picture itself, a phone photo usually carries EXIF metadata: the exact GPS coordinates, the date and time, and the phone model. Passport and ID photos are even more sensitive. Most online converters upload your file to a server to process it, and you have to trust them to delete it afterwards.
The tools here use your browser's own image engine (the Canvas API, plus a small open-source HEIC decoder) to do the work on your device. After the page loads you can even go offline and keep converting. The only real limit is your device's memory: very large images (40+ megapixels) can be slow on an older phone.
Which format should you save as?
JPG is the right default for photos: small files and universally supported. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, so it's better for screenshots, logos and graphics with text, but photos saved as PNG are several times larger. WebP gives smaller files than JPG at the same quality and is supported by every modern browser. HEIC is the iPhone's default; it's efficient, but many websites and Windows apps still can't open it. For the details, see JPG vs PNG vs WebP and HEIC vs JPG.

Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Every photo tool on TheHandyKit processes the image inside your browser. The file is never sent anywhere, which you can confirm in your browser's network inspector while a conversion runs.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: very large images can be slow on older phones, but typical phone and camera photos work fine.
Do these tools reduce photo quality?
Converting to JPG and compressing re-encode the image, which is lossy; the quality slider controls the trade-off between size and detail. Resizing down discards pixels by design. The EXIF Editor doesn't re-encode at all: it rewrites only the metadata, so the image data stays byte-for-byte identical. The EXIF Remover redraws the picture to guarantee nothing hidden survives, re-encoding JPG and WebP at a high quality setting (PNG stays lossless).
Do they work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. They run in any modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge — on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install.
