image tools guides

This collection covers the browser-based tools on Toolbox Image and the decisions that go with them. Every tool on this site processes pixels locally: the image is opened into a canvas element, edited on the device, and exported from the same page, so screenshots, identity documents and client files are never sent to a server. The guides here group the tools by the problem they solve — hiding something, changing dimensions, reducing weight, or restoring clarity — rather than by feature name, because most real tasks need two or three tools in sequence. A typical order is crop first, resize second, apply any blur or redaction third, and compress last; compressing before redacting can soften the hard edges of a mosaic and make small text readable again. You will also find format guidance: PNG for anything containing text or a redaction, JPEG for photographs where size matters, and WebP when the destination supports it. If you are unsure which tool to open, start with the article that matches the object in your image (a face, a plate, a document, a screenshot), not the effect name.
