3 Free Tools

Clean up your logos and web images with free image tools

Every one of these runs on your own machine. Drop the files in, fix them, download them. Nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is watermarked.

Trimming, cropping and background removal are three different jobs

They get used interchangeably and they are not the same thing, which is why there are two tools here rather than one.

  • Trimming finds the edge of the artwork and cuts everything outside it. The result is always a rectangle, it is always smaller, and it can never make anything transparent. Use the image trimmer when a logo has empty margin baked into the file.
  • Cropping is you choosing a rectangle. It happily cuts through the artwork, which is the point when you need a square avatar out of a wide photo.
  • Background removal deletes pixels by colour and leaves transparency behind, in whatever shape the artwork happens to be. Use the transparent background maker when a white box is showing behind a logo.
  • Resizing changes how many pixels the image has at all, which is the one that actually makes a page load faster. Use the bulk image resizer when the files are simply too big, and let it compress and convert to WebP in the same pass.

The two often run together. Key the background out first, then trim, and you get a tight transparent PNG with no dead space around it. The background tool can do both in one pass.

Why these run in your browser instead of on our server

Every one of these jobs is a pixel loop. A laptop does it in a few hundred milliseconds, so there is no technical reason to send the file anywhere, and three good reasons not to.

  • Client work stays private. An unreleased logo or a campaign asset under embargo never leaves the machine, so there is no upload to explain to a client or a legal team.
  • No queue and no limit. Free upload sites throttle you at three files, then ask for an account. These just run.
  • Batch is genuinely batch. A hundred photos processed locally take about as long as uploading three of them would.

The trade is that very large files lean on your own machine rather than a server, so a 60 megapixel scan is slower on an old laptop than on a new one.

What these tools will not do

Worth saying plainly, because it saves you a wasted upload.

  • They are not an AI subject cutout. The background tool matches a colour. Cutting a person out of a busy photo needs a model that understands what a person is, and that is a different product.
  • They do not vectorise. A keyed JPG is still pixels. If your logo is going on a signboard or a vehicle you need it redrawn as a vector, which is a design job.
  • They will not rescue a screenshot of a logo. JPEG artefacts around the letterforms survive the key, and no tolerance setting removes them cleanly.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these image tools really free?
Yes. All of them are free with no sign-up, no daily cap and no watermark on the output. They run entirely in your browser, so there is no server cost for us to pass on.
Do my images get uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read by your browser and processed on your own machine. It is never sent to terris.sg or to any third party, which is why the tools keep working if your connection drops after the page loads.
What is the difference between trimming and cropping an image?
Trimming removes the uniform border around the artwork automatically, so the result is the same picture with the empty margin gone. Cropping is a manual choice of rectangle and usually cuts into the picture itself. Trimming can only ever make the canvas smaller around what is already there.
Can I remove a background that is not white?
Yes. The transparent background maker reads the colour along the edges of your image, so a black, grey or coloured backdrop works the same way as white. You can also click anywhere on the image to pick the exact colour to remove.
What file formats do these image tools accept?
PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF and BMP go in. Output is PNG or WEBP for anything transparent, since JPG has no alpha channel and would put a background straight back in.
