iLoveIMG alternative: private tools, no account

iLoveIMG is easy to recommend because the catalog looks like a toolbox: compress, resize, crop, convert, remove background. The model is the same as iLovePDF. The file is uploaded and processed on their side. Free use hits size, task, or account pressure. That is a valid product. It is not a private one.

What maps cleanly

• Compress, convert, resize, crop, rotate: StackImage does these locally.
• Remove background: we run an on-device matte (16 MP cap). iLoveIMG’s cloud cutout can look cleaner on hard hair.
• Watermark, text, collage, ICO, SVG to PNG, GIF frames: in the StackImage catalog.
• Account and quota: iLoveIMG uses them. StackImage does not.

What does not map

iLoveIMG is a large cloud suite with a mobile app and batch habits aimed at teams who already accepted the upload. StackImage is 18 browser tools with hard pixel caps. We will not claim a Photoshop-class editor or a guaranteed smaller PNG than their server encoder.

A private iLove-style path

1. Compress or convert the originals locally.
2. Resize or crop to the size the destination actually shows.
3. Strip EXIF on JPEGs you plan to post.
4. Need a PDF of the result? Use StackPDF Images to PDF in the sister app. That path is also local.
