Why You Don't Need Photoshop for Most Tasks
Photoshop is a powerful tool, but it costs $20+/month and has a steep learning curve. For 90% of everyday image tasks — resizing, converting, compressing — free online tools are faster and more accessible.
Here are 10 image tools that will change the way you work.
1. Image Resizer
**Best for:** Resizing photos for social media, email, or websites.
Our Image Resizer lets you resize any image to exact pixel dimensions or percentage scale. You can maintain aspect ratio or set custom width and height.
**When to use it:** Before uploading a profile photo, banner image, or blog thumbnail.
2. Image Compressor
**Best for:** Reducing image file size for faster websites and smaller attachments.
Our Image Compressor can shrink image file sizes by up to 80% while keeping them looking sharp on screen.
**Quick tip:** Always compress images before uploading them to your website. Large images are one of the #1 causes of slow page loads.
3. HEIC to JPG Converter
**Best for:** iPhone users who need to share photos with non-Apple devices.
iPhones save photos in HEIC format by default since iOS 11. While HEIC offers better compression, most platforms (including Windows and Android) don't support it natively.
Our HEIC to JPG Converter converts iPhone photos to universal JPG format instantly.
4. OCR Image to Text
**Best for:** Extracting text from screenshots, scanned documents, or photos.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology reads text from images. Upload a screenshot of an article, a photo of a receipt, or a scanned contract, and our OCR Image to Text tool extracts all the text in seconds.
5. SVG to PNG Converter
**Best for:** Designers and developers who need raster versions of vector graphics.
SVG files are resolution-independent vectors, but many platforms (social media, Word documents) require PNG or JPG. Our SVG to PNG Converter converts your SVG at any size.
6. WebP to PNG Converter
**Best for:** Converting modern web images to widely-supported formats.
WebP is a modern image format used by Google that offers excellent compression but isn't supported everywhere (especially in older software). Our WebP to PNG Converter handles the conversion instantly.
7. PNG to JPG Converter
**Best for:** Reducing file size when transparency isn't needed.
PNG files are lossless and support transparency — but they're much larger than JPGs. If your image doesn't need a transparent background, convert it to JPG with our PNG to JPG Converter to cut file size significantly.
8. JPG to PNG Converter
**Best for:** When you need a transparent background.
The reverse of the above. If you need to add a transparent background to an existing JPG (like a logo), convert it to PNG first with our JPG to PNG Converter.
9. Image to Base64 Converter
**Best for:** Developers who need to embed images directly in HTML or CSS.
Base64 encoding lets you embed image data directly in your code, eliminating an HTTP request. Our Image to Base64 Converter outputs the encoded string ready to paste.
10. QR Code Generator (With Logo)
**Best for:** Creating scannable QR codes for business cards, menus, and marketing materials.
Our QR Code Generator creates customizable QR codes for URLs, text, contact info, and more. Download as PNG or SVG.
