File tools that never see your files.

Resize passport photos, compress images, format JSON and more. Everything runs on your device, so your files are never uploaded to a server.

All tools

Pick a tool. Add a file. Download.

Every tool works the same way, so once you have used one you know them all.

How it works

Three steps, and none of them upload anything.

STEP 1

Add a file

Drop it on the page, choose it from your computer, or paste text. It opens inside this browser tab.

STEP 2

Adjust the settings

See a live preview as you change size, quality or format. Basic settings first, Advanced when you want control.

STEP 3

Download the result

Check the before and after, then save the file. Delete it from the tab with one click when you are done.

Why your files stay private

Each tool runs inside your browser tab, using your own computer. Our servers only send you the page. They never receive your file, because there is nowhere in the page to send it. While a tool works you will see a paper envelope close over your file. That is our way of showing that it stays sealed in your tab.

Counted from the browser's own request log around every run. It should stay at zero.

Hashing…

A live SHA-256 digest of the runtime code executing in this tab, verified alongside our WebAssembly module hashes.

Blocked by the site's own rules

Enforced by a strict Content-Security-Policy header that blocks the page from contacting any external server.

Try it: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, then process a file. You will see no upload. You can also switch off your internet connection first. The tool still works.
For developers and AI agents

The same tools, callable by code.

Every tool is described by one manifest. The page builds its settings from it, and AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) call the same tool through the Model Context Protocol. The same input always gives the same output, whether a person clicked or an agent called.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are photos generated with this tool accepted by government passport offices?
Yes. Our preset parameters are continuously verified against official immigration documentation (including US State Department Form DS-11/DS-82, UK HMPO guidelines, and ICAO 9303 international biometric passport standards). When you align the biometric guidelines correctly, your exported photo strictly complies with dimension, margin, and resolution mandates.
Can I generate a 4x6 inch photo print sheet for local drugstore printing?
Yes. The tool offers a 4x6 inch (10x15cm) print layout preset that tiles multiple 2x2 inch or 35x45mm photos with subtle cut lines, allowing you to print standard passport photos at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, or home photo printers for pennies.
How does this tool guarantee my biometric photo is not saved or harvested for facial recognition?
Because PrivacyFold runs 100% on-device using client-side HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Your photograph is loaded into your browser's local sandboxed memory and never transmitted over the Internet. No facial vectors, embeddings, or biometric templates are ever generated, stored, or transferred to any cloud server.
What lighting and background requirements should I follow when taking my photo?
Stand approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from a plain white or off-white wall in a well-lit room with balanced natural light. Avoid harsh shadows under your nose or chin, maintain a neutral facial expression with both eyes open, and ensure that eyeglasses with reflections or heavy frames are removed.
What is the correct resolution and DPI for digital visa uploads?
Most immigration portals (such as the US DS-160 portal or UK Visa VFS) require photos between 600x600 pixels and 1200x1200 pixels at 300 to 600 DPI, with file sizes between 54 KB and 240 KB. PrivacyFold automatically enforces these exact DPI and byte limits.
Does this tool support visa photos for Schengen countries, India, and China?
Yes. It includes pre-calibrated dimensions for European Schengen visas (35x45mm), Indian OCI and Passport (51x51mm and 35x35mm), Chinese Consular visas (33x48mm), and over 80 other sovereign categories.
