# ihateimg.cv

> Free image tools that run entirely in your browser. Convert HEIC, compress, resize and crop without uploading a single file. No watermark, no sign-up, no limits.

Every tool runs entirely client-side in the browser (Canvas, OffscreenCanvas, Web Workers). Files are never uploaded to a server - there is no upload endpoint, no account system, and no per-file size limit imposed by the backend. Processing an image here means it never leaves the visitor's device.

## Guides

- [How Images Slow Down Your Site (And How to Fix It)](https://www.ihateimg.cv/blog/images-and-web-performance): Images are the largest element on most pages and the reason most sites fail LCP. A per-image decision tree, rather than another generic checklist.
- [OG Images: The Size Is the Easy Part](https://www.ihateimg.cv/blog/og-image-guide): 1200×630 is the answer to the question everyone asks. The reason your preview isn't showing is almost never the dimensions - here's what it usually is.
- [How to Make a Favicon in 2026 (You Need Fewer Files Than You Think)](https://www.ihateimg.cv/blog/how-to-make-a-favicon): Most tutorials still tell you to export fifteen PNGs. Modern browsers need four or five files. Here's the minimal set, the HTML, and the traps.
- [How to Redact a Photo of a Document Properly](https://www.ihateimg.cv/blog/how-to-redact-an-image): Blur and pixelation are not redaction, layered files keep what is underneath, and cropping has leaked data before. What actually removes information from an image.
