🎬 Free Video & Image Tools

Handling the media side of a page: getting images down to a sensible size, embedding video without slowing everything down, and converting captions between the formats players expect. Image processing happens on your own device — nothing is uploaded to a server.

How to get the most out of these

The media tools handle the heaviest bytes on any page. The image compressor is the one with the biggest payoff: resizing a phone photo to the width a page actually displays routinely cuts the file by ninety percent before compression even starts. The embed generator solves the other common weight problem - video - by writing the responsive, privacy-mode iframe by hand instead of pasting YouTube's default.

Two honesty notes that these tools' own pages also carry. The thumbnail downloader fetches its previews straight from YouTube's servers, so it is the one image tool here that talks to the network. And the image compressor's canvas processing strips metadata - which removes GPS location (good, before publishing) and copyright fields (know it, if that matters to you).

What none of these do: edit. No cropping beyond resize, no color work, no subtitle timing changes. They convert, compress, and package media that is already right - the judgment about the media itself stays with you.
