Image & Conversion Tools
Free tools for images and visual content. Convert formats, strip EXIF metadata, and generate QR codes in your browser. Your files stay on your device for converter and EXIF work.
Image Converter
Convert HEIC, AVIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, and more in your browser. Batch convert iPhone photos without uploading. Processing stays on your device.
Compress Images
Make JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF files smaller. Set a quality level or a target file size in KB. Batch compress in your browser. Nothing uploads.
EXIF Viewer & Metadata Remover
View camera settings, timestamps, and GPS, then strip metadata and download a clean photo. 100% local. Your file never uploads to a server.
QR Code Generator
Create custom QR codes for URLs, WiFi, vCard, SEPA payments, calendar events, crypto, and map pins. Add a center logo, batch-generate from a CSV, and download as PNG or SVG.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove GPS from a photo before sharing?
Open EXIF Viewer & Metadata Remover and upload the image. It shows every embedded EXIF tag: camera make and model, timestamp, and GPS coordinates. You can open the GPS location in Google Maps to see what you would share. Click Strip Metadata to get a clean copy with that data removed, then download it before you post or send. Phone cameras often embed precise GPS by default, and social platforms and messaging apps do not always strip it. The process runs locally in your browser with the Canvas API. The original image and its metadata never leave your device.
Image Converter vs dedicated pair pages: which URL should I use?
Use /tools/image-converter when you want one picker: drop in any image and choose HEIC, AVIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or BMP, including batch conversion. Use a dedicated pair page, such as /tools/image-converter/heic-to-jpg or /tools/image-converter/png-to-avif, when you already know the conversion. Those pages pre-select source and target, skip the picker, and include format-specific guidance (for example whether transparency survives, or why a pairing can band). Both paths use the same in-browser conversion engine and the same local processing.
What formats are supported?
Image Converter handles HEIC/HEIF (the default iPhone photo format), AVIF, JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. HEIC is decode-only: you can convert HEIC to the other formats, but you cannot convert back into HEIC in the browser. AVIF encodes through the browser Canvas API where the browser supports it (Chrome and Firefox do) and falls back to a WebAssembly encoder elsewhere, so conversion works across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Do QR codes expire?
No. A QR code from QR Generator does not expire. The data you encode (a URL, WiFi credentials, a vCard, or plain text) is embedded in the image pattern. Scanning decodes those pixels with no lookup against Instant Tools or any other server. The code keeps working offline. If you encode a URL and that destination later goes offline or changes, the QR code still scans, but the link may no longer work.
Is there a file size limit?
Instant Tools does not set a file size limit. The ceiling is your device's browser memory, because EXIF Viewer and Image Converter load and decode the image locally. Most phones and laptops handle typical photos, screenshots, and graphics up to about 50 to 100 MB. Very large files (high-resolution RAW exports, multi-layer TIFFs, or unusually large PNGs) can push a mobile browser's memory limits. Try a desktop browser with more RAM if a conversion stalls or the tab becomes unresponsive.
