About ourtool
An online toolbox built around “get in, get done, get out”.
What we are building
There is no shortage of online tools, but most ask you to upload files to someone else’s server, register an account, wait in a queue and respect usage caps. ourtool puts the computation in your browser instead: the upload step simply does not exist, and with it the privacy worries, the queues and the limits.
How privacy is guaranteed
The core logic of every tool is front-end code that runs on your own device. For image compression, the calculation is done by your browser and the result is downloaded straight back to you - no network request is made in the process. Open the Network panel in your browser dev tools and check for yourself.
Tech stack
The front end is built with React 19 and TypeScript, bundled by Vite, styled with Tailwind CSS v4 and iconed with Lucide. Pages are static assets that can be served from any CDN or object storage for fast delivery.
FAQ
Are my files really never uploaded?
Correct. All processing code runs in the browser and no file transfer request is made. You can verify this in the Network panel of your browser dev tools while using a tool.
Do I need to register or pay?
No. Every tool is free and unlimited, and there is no hidden sign-up wall.
Is there a file size limit?
Image compression accepts files up to 50MB. For larger images, crop them or reduce the resolution first - it is friendlier to browser memory too.
Which browsers are supported?
We recommend the latest Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. Compression relies on Web Workers and Canvas, which all modern browsers support.
Will the output have a watermark?
No. The result is a plain image file with no watermark or extra data added.
Can I embed your tools on my own site?
Not at the moment. If you need this, let us know through the site feedback channel.
