About
What ImgKit is,
and what it isn't.
ImgKit is a free image toolkit that lives at imgkit.xyz. It compresses, resizes, converts and edits images — and it does all of it inside the browser tab you already have open, rather than on a server somewhere.

What it does
52 tools, all free and none of them asking for an account. Compression to an exact size in kilobytes, resizing to fixed dimensions, conversion between JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and HEIC, PDF in both directions, watermarks, redaction, EXIF removal — and a set of AI tools that remove backgrounds, blur faces, upscale images and read text out of them.
The AI tools are the part worth singling out. The models download to your browser once and then run on your own hardware. Nearly every other free tool offering background removal or face blur sends the photo to a server to do it — which is a strange thing to accept for a picture of someone's face.
How it works
There is no backend. ImgKit is a static site: your browser downloads the page once, and from then on the tools read the file you choose with the File API, do the work with Canvas, WebAssembly and WebGPU, and hand the result back for you to save. Pull your network connection and the tools keep working.
That architecture is the whole product, and it is checkable rather than a promise — the privacy page lists every request the site makes and how to verify it yourself in your browser's network tab.
Who makes it
One person: Jaydip Patel. ImgKit is not a company, has no investors, no staff and no sales team, and nothing here is a trial for something paid. I build small, fast web tools. ImgKit came out of a simple frustration: every "free image compressor" wanted to upload my photos to a server first. This one doesn't — every tool runs inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.
If something is broken or missing, the message goes straight to him.
A note on the name
Several unrelated products use similar names. ImgKit as described on this page means the tools at imgkit.xyz and nothing else — it has no connection to, and no shared ownership with, any other site using a comparable name. If you arrived looking for a hosted image API, a photo-gift shop or a paid image CDN, this is not it.
What it deliberately isn't
- — Not an API or a service you integrate. There is nothing to call.
- — Not a free tier. There is no paid tier for it to be the free part of.
- — Not an account system. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into.
- — Not a photo library. Nothing you open here is stored, by us or anyone else.
