Image Factory

Everyday image work is rarely a big project and usually a small, annoying in-between step. A photo is too large for the application portal, a screenshot reveals too much, a logo only exists as an SVG, the iPhone spits out HEIC that nobody can open. There is a dedicated tool for each of these - and the Image Factory packs them all into a single window so you never juggle five tabs.

The workbench is split into five sections. Optimise holds compressing, converting and resizing single images, plus the bulk variants for whole folders and the HEIC converter for iPhones. SVG & Colours bundles the SVG rasteriser, the SVG recolourer and the palette extractor. Privacy & Metadata keeps the EXIF viewer and the screenshot cleaner ready. Generate delivers favicon sets and ready-made social media formats. And under Special you find the application-photo crop and text recognition via OCR.

The best part of the bundle: it is purely additive. Each of the 15 tools stays reachable on its own, with its own address and its own search-result page. The Image Factory simply calls the same components under one roof. So you lose nothing by opening a single tool - but when you want to do several things to one image, you save yourself the endless back and forth.

Everything runs in your browser. With images that is not a technical footnote, it is the whole point: an application photo, an ID scan, a screenshot of your bank balance - these are things nobody wants to upload to a stranger's server. In the Image Factory your files never leave your device. No upload, no queue, no cloud that might keep your photos. It is fast, often works offline, and is as data-frugal as image editing should be.

The workbench remembers which tool you had open last and reopens it straight away next time. Every view loads only when you need it and runs inside its own error boundary - if one tool trips up, the rest of the factory stays calm. You switch away and back, and it reloads fresh.

The Image Factory is built for everyone who handles images regularly without being a designer: applicants who need a fitting photo, freelancers feeding their website favicons and social graphics, parents shrinking photos for the authorities, and anyone who wants to strip metadata or an account number from a screenshot before sharing it. A toolbox rather than a Swiss army knife that does everything halfway.
