Practical guides
Choose a task and follow the steps, examples and checks. Each guide explains what the available tools can and cannot do.
Fit an image under an upload limit
A practical route to a 200 KB image: check bytes, reduce dimensions, choose a format and inspect small text before uploading.
Convert HEIC to JPG without installing another app
Use built-in Apple export options, understand browser support, and check orientation, colour and file size after HEIC conversion.
Crop and reduce an animated GIF under 5 MB
Choose whether to crop, shorten, scale or reduce frame rate, then check every GIF frame for timing and transparency problems.
Get cleaner text from image OCR
Prepare a readable image for OCR and use a review checklist for numbers, columns, accented text and confidential material.
Background removal, text removal and watermark editing
Choose between transparency, restoring an original layer and retouching, with checks for halos and missing image detail.
Image to ASCII art: keep the subject readable
Convert a local image to a monochrome text preview, choose a sensible character width and preserve alignment when copying.
Generate a Code 128 barcode and check it before printing
Create a Code 128 SVG locally, preserve quiet zones and distinguish an internal label from a registered retail product identifier.
