Every "free" online photo editor works the same way: you upload your photo to their server, they process it, you download it back. Your image touched a stranger's computer along the way.
APIC never does that.
Open it, drop an image, and everything happens locally in your browser. Nothing uploaded. Nothing logged.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| 🎨 Edit | Filters, brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, rotate, flip |
| 🔄 Convert | PNG ⇄ JPEG ⇄ WebP ⇄ BMP ⇄ ICO ⇄ PDF |
| 📦 Compress | Shrink to a target file size, not a guess |
| 📐 Resize | Exact pixels or percentages |
| ✂️ Remove Background | Real on-device AI segmentation |
| 🩹 Remove Object | Trained neural net (MI-GAN) fills the gap — like Photoshop's Generative Fill, 100% client-side |
No tab, no internet needed once it's running. Clean sidebar with dedicated Edit / Convert / Compress / Search modes.

Most "free" tools aren't free — you pay with your photos, your data, your privacy.
APIC flips that: your files stay yours. Always.
Two products. One philosophy: powerful editing shouldn't cost you your privacy.
