Virtual Text Tools
Virtual Text Tools
Convert and compress images without uploading them anywhere. Turn JPG into PNG, convert Apple HEIC photos, and shrink file sizes — all processed locally in your browser. No accounts, no upload limits, nothing leaves your device.
Converting and compressing images is something almost everyone needs occasionally — a HEIC photo from an iPhone that won't open on Windows, a JPG that needs a transparent background as PNG, an image that's too large to email. The catch with most online options is that they upload your file to a server to do the work, which is both slower and a privacy concern for personal photos.
Virtual Text Tools removes that trade-off. Every image tool runs as JavaScript in your own browser using the native canvas API. There is no backend, no account, and nothing is transmitted. That makes these tools both instant — no upload or download round trip — and private by default.
Image conversion and compression are exactly the kind of quick jobs that usually push people toward sketchy upload sites. You have a photo straight off an iPhone in HEIC format that a form or older program will not accept, and you just need a PNG. You have a screenshot or graphic that needs to be a PNG instead of a JPG, or the reverse. You have an image that is too large to email or attach and needs to be a few hundred kilobytes smaller. None of these need a heavy desktop editor; they need one fast, focused conversion.
The reason to do it in your browser rather than uploading is simple: many of these images are personal photos, screenshots of private information, or client work you should not be sending to an unknown server. Here the file is read and converted on your own device and never leaves it, so you get the converted result without handing your original to anyone.
The JPG to PNG converter turns JPEG, WEBP, and BMP images into PNG, with control over the background fill and output scale. It's the quickest way to get a lossless PNG or a transparent-background version of an image. Full walkthrough in the JPG to PNG guide.
The HEIC to PNG converter solves the classic iPhone-photo problem: HEIC files that won't open on Windows, older software, or many websites. It decodes them and outputs a standard PNG, entirely on your device. See the HEIC to PNG guide for details.
The image compressor reduces file size with an adjustable quality slider and a live before/after comparison, so you can balance size against quality. Useful for speeding up web pages, fitting email limits, or saving storage. More in the image compression guide.

Open all tools →Yes — completely free, no account, no signup, no usage limits. Because everything runs in your browser there is no server cost, so there is nothing to charge for.
No. Unlike most online image tools, nothing is uploaded — your images are read and processed entirely in your browser using the canvas API, so the files never leave your device.
Once the page has loaded, yes. All processing is local JavaScript, so you can disconnect from the internet and the tools keep working.
Converting between formats like JPG and PNG keeps the pixels intact, though PNG and JPG handle transparency and file size differently. Compression deliberately trades a little detail for a much smaller file, and you can usually cut size significantly before any change is visible at normal viewing sizes. For photos you plan to print, keep an original copy.
There is no hard limit imposed by us, since the work happens on your device rather than a server. Very large images depend on your computer's available memory, but typical photos and screenshots convert and compress in a second or two. The tools handle common formats including JPG, PNG, and HEIC.
Beyond image tools, there is a full suite of text and developer utilities — word and character counters, case converters, a QR generator, JSON and Base64 tools, and more.
