Meet OurImg

A fast, private image editor that lives in your browser tab.

OurImg exists so that everyday image work — cropping, resizing, compressing, converting, annotating — doesn't require an account, an upload, or an install. Open a page, drop an image, get the result.

Today that means more than a hundred focused tools: format conversion (including HEIC and TIFF), compression and optimization, resizing presets for every platform, background removal, object and text removal, image-to-text (OCR), metadata and privacy checks, collages, QR codes and more — plus a full layered photo editor. Every tool has a built-in example so you can see it work before using your own files.

How it works

Everything runs in your browser. Batch tools process images in Web Workers, several at a time, so the page stays responsive. Heavier features — the AI background remover, the OCR engine, the HEIC decoder and advanced JPEG/PNG encoders — are WebAssembly modules served from this site and loaded only when you open a tool that needs them.

The editor keeps a lightweight model of your document (layers, transforms, adjustments) separate from the renderer that draws it and from the processing engine that applies pixel effects in Web Workers. Undo and redo are built from small commands rather than full-image copies, so history stays cheap even for large photos.

What it doesn't do (yet)

  • AI upscaling isn't available — the upscaler uses high-quality standard resampling, and says so.
  • In the editor, selections, layer masks and retouching brushes (clone, heal, smudge) are not implemented yet.
  • Text recognition reads English, and handwriting only when it's neat and print-like.
  • Animated GIFs can be compressed with their animation intact, but the editor opens them as a still first frame.
