Image Tools

Make ID photos, remove backgrounds, and edit images in your browser. AI-powered, 100% client-side — your photos never leave your device.

Image tools cover the steps people commonly need before submitting a photo to a form, a print shop, or a marketplace listing — sizing, background removal, and layout. Unlike most online photo editors, every operation here runs entirely inside your browser using locally-cached AI models. Your photo never travels over the network. That privacy guarantee matters most for ID photos and passport-style submissions, where you may not want a stranger holding a copy of your face. The trade-off is that the first use of the AI model triggers a one-time download (~50 MB) which is then cached for instant reuse.

How to Use

Reach for the id-photo-maker when you have a passable head-shot but it does not match the spec a form is asking for. Common scenarios: applying for a US visa from a phone selfie, a Schengen visa from a casual portrait, or printing 8 copies of a Chinese 1-inch ID photo for a job application. The tool handles four jobs at once: matching the exact pixel dimensions of the spec (e.g. 295×413 px for 1-inch), swapping in the regulator-required background colour (white for visas, blue for many CN documents), aligning the head to the spec ratio, and packing multiple copies onto a 6×4-inch print sheet so a print shop can produce them on a single piece of photo paper.

Tips & Best Practices

Today image-tools contains a single tool, but the category is designed to grow into a privacy-first alternative to popular online photo editors. The id-photo-maker focuses on a narrow, well-defined task — producing ID photos that meet specific government or institutional specs — rather than offering a kitchen-sink editor. This deliberate scope is what makes it possible to run completely in the browser: no general-purpose photo editing means we only need a small AI model for background removal and a face-detection model for alignment, both of which fit comfortably in a browser cache. Future tools planned for this category will follow the same principle: each tool does one job thoroughly, and runs entirely locally.
