“We believe your images are yours. A tool that touches them should do the work on your device — not send your photos to a stranger's server.”
Why we built it
The problem
Every "free" image compressor uploads your files somewhere, shows ads, or caps you after two images. Photographers and web builders end up choosing between privacy and a usable tool.
The idea
Image
The creation
We built a browser-based compressor that processes JPG and PNG entirely on your device. Drop a file, pick a quality, download the result — nothing is uploaded, no account exists, and the compression happens in the time it takes to blink.
This creation began as #004 in our idea archive.
Observation
Ads, limits and privacy trade-offs.
Idea
The browser can do it locally.
Creation
Drop, compress, download — all on-device.
Release
Live at image.100ideas.net.
Images never leave your device — compression happens in the browser.
Compress both formats with quality control.
Just a drop zone, a slider and a download button.
Yes — completely free, with no limits and no ads.
Web builders, photographers and anyone who needs smaller images without handing them to a third-party server.
Most compressors upload your files to a server. Image processes everything locally — your pictures never leave your device.
Started as #004 — Image
Compress JPG and PNG images online — processed locally.
Free, instant, privacy-first calculators — Schengen, FIRE and TDEE.
“We asked: what if the most useful calculators lived in one clean, instant, private place? No accounts, no tracking, just the number you needed thirty seconds ago. That is why we made this.”
A simple way to work with documents.
“We kept asking: what if the PDF tool disappeared into the background, leaving only the document and the one action you wanted? Why did we make this — because a document task should take seconds, not a tutorial.”
Explore AI models through a simple interface.
“We asked: why should comparing AI models require code? We wanted a place where a creator could put the same question to several models and feel the difference in their answers. That is why we made this.”
