About BrightFreeTools
Last updated:
BrightFreeTools is a small, independent website that makes free online tools for everyday file tasks, starting with images: compressing a photo to the exact size a form asks for, and converting iPhone photos to JPG.
What we care about
- Privacy. Most online converters upload your files to their servers. Ours do not. Every tool runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer, so your photos never leave your device.
- Doing the job exactly. If a form wants a photo under 50 KB, a file of 51 KB is useless. Our tools aim for precise, checkable results and tell you plainly when something cannot be done.
- Honesty. No fake reviews, no pop-ups, no “upgrade to download”. The tools are free to use.
How the tools work
When you add a file, the code on the page reads it, processes it and creates the new file, all inside your browser. The only things downloaded from our server are the page and the code that runs it. You can close the page at any time; nothing is stored.
Open-source software
Some tools use open-source code, loaded from this website. Thank you to their authors:
- libheif, libde265 and libheif-js for opening HEIC photos (LGPL-3.0)
- Preact for the interactive parts of each tool (MIT)
- Lucide for icons (ISC)
