The first is a local image compressor for JPG, PNG, and WebP that processes files entirely in the browser without uploading to a server. The second, ClarifyPix, uses AI to upscale, deblur, remove backgrounds, and touch up images directly in the browser. Both tools are available at Untracked Tools and require no account.", "body_md": "I edit a lot of images for the web and I got sick of heavy desktop apps and sketchy upload sites. Two browser tools ended up in my daily rotation:\n\nFree online image compressor for JPG/PNG/WebP. The part I care about: it processes files locally in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded to some server. You drag in a photo, pick a level, and download a much smaller file that still looks fine. I use it before publishing any screenshot or product shot — shaves page weight without visible quality loss.\n\nWhen a photo is blurry, low-res, or has a messy background, ClarifyPix runs AI on it right in the browser: upscale, deblur, remove background, touch up. Handy for ecommerce listings, profile pics, or old photos you want to rescue.\n\nBoth are free, no account needed, and they're part of a small set of tools I keep at [Untracked Tools](https://untrackedtools.com). If your workflow still involves opening Photoshop to crop a JPEG, try the compressor first — it'll save you five minutes a day.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/two-free-image-tools-i-use-that-need-zero-install", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/xiaojia7788/two-free-image-tools-i-use-that-need-zero-install-4mbk", "published_at": "2026-07-13 12:00:50+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-13 12:17:20.728842+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "computer-vision", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["ClarifyPix", "Untracked Tools"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/two-free-image-tools-i-use-that-need-zero-install", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/two-free-image-tools-i-use-that-need-zero-install.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/two-free-image-tools-i-use-that-need-zero-install.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/two-free-image-tools-i-use-that-need-zero-install.jsonld"}}
