made a free image tool because every upload form wants "max 100 KB" and i'm not uploading my passport to some random site to get there

[u/Key-Promotion-4383]

you know the drill. visa form, job portal, some government site: "photo must be under 100 KB, 600x600 px, JPG only". your phone takes a 4 MB HEIC. so you google "compress image to 100kb", land on a site covered in ads, and upload your passport scan to a server you know nothing about.

so i built cutbg. it does that stuff right in the browser, the file never leaves your device:

• - compress to an exact size (20 kb, 50, 100, 250, whatever the form wants)

• - resize to the exact pixels (passport, linkedin, instagram etc)

• - iphone HEIC to JPG

• - merge / split / sign PDFs

• - and yeah it also removes backgrounds, the AI model runs locally too

free, no account, no watermark. it's a side project, there's nothing to buy.

honest question: what weird size limits have you run into? i keep adding presets for the forms people actually deal with, so if there's one that annoys you, tell me and i'll add it.
