About this site

iPhotoEditor is built on a simple observation: the browser became a capable image workstation, and almost nobody passed the benefit on to users. The same tasks that once required uploading your photos to someone's server — compressing, converting, removing backgrounds, preparing a passport photo — now run locally, in the page, on hardware you already own. So that is how every tool here works.

The architecture is the privacy policy. There is no backend: the site is static files served from a CDN, and every operation — WebAssembly codecs, WebGPU-accelerated neural networks, PDF assembly, EXIF surgery — happens in your browser. We chose that constraint deliberately, because the photos people most need tools for are the ones they should least be uploading: IDs, documents, pictures of their families.

Three promises hold everywhere on this site: never a watermark, never a signup, never a resolution cap. They are the three ways free image tools usually stop being free, and their absence here is structural — there is no account system to upsell you into.

The machine-learning features run on openly licensed models (Apache-2.0 and MIT), pinned and self-hosted, downloaded only when you first use the feature and cached for offline use afterwards. The full register of models and licences ships with the project.
