About ImageTools

Why I built this

I kept running into the same problem: government exam portals reject photos for reasons that make no sense until you read the fine print. UPSC wants 20–300KB. Kerala PSC Thulasi wants exactly 150×200px. SSC GD wants separate constraints for the photo and the signature. None of the existing tools handled these specific requirements without either uploading to a server or adding a watermark.

The first version was a quick script for a friend preparing for Kerala PSC. It worked well enough that I kept adding more exam specs — and eventually it made sense to turn it into a proper site that anyone could use, on any phone, without creating an account.

I've verified every spec directly against the official portals — UPSC's online application, NTA for NEET, the Thulasi portal, Sarathi, and the NSDL PAN card portal. Where the portals are ambiguous, I've tested what actually gets accepted and documented it in the spec tables on each tool page.

How the privacy side actually works

Every tool here uses the browser's Canvas API. When you select a photo, it loads into memory inside your browser tab. The resize, compress, and stamp operations all run there — no data ever touches a server. The download is generated locally using URL.createObjectURL().

This isn't a marketing claim — it's an architectural constraint. There is no server-side image processing code in this project. There is no file upload endpoint. Open your browser's Network tab while using any tool and you'll see zero requests carrying image data.

This matters especially for the government ID photos this site handles — Aadhaar-linked photos, passport photos, and PAN card images contain your face and are linked to your identity. They should not be uploaded to a random tool on the internet.

What I collect

I use Google Analytics to understand which tools people use and whether they work correctly — page views, download events, error rates. I use Microsoft Clarity to catch UI bugs via session recordings. Neither service sees your photos — analytics events only carry tool names and file sizes, never image data.

What's coming

Phase 1 is Indian government exam tools — UPSC, Kerala PSC, SSC GD, NEET, Aadhaar, Sarathi, PAN Card, Indian Passport. These are the highest-intent searches and the tools where getting the spec wrong has real consequences for the applicant.

Once those are ranking, Phase 2 adds content creator tools (YouTube Shorts safe zones, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn banners) and international document tools (US visa DS-160). Phase 3 brings in developer utilities — HEIC converter, favicon generator, Base64 encoder.
