Media Studio

Real media processing, without a server in the middle

Media Studio brings together ten tools for the most common things people need to do with a photo, an audio clip, or a short video — shrink it, crop it, convert its format, lift a subject off its background, or turn a handful of frames into a looping GIF. What sets these apart from typical free media tools is where the actual processing happens: entirely inside your browser, using your own device's processing power, rather than uploading your file to a remote server first.

This isn't a simplified or watered-down version of what a server-based tool would do — it's genuinely the same category of technology, just relocated. Background removal runs a real AI segmentation model downloaded once to your browser and cached for future use. Video trimming uses FFmpeg, the same industry-standard media engine used by countless professional tools, compiled to WebAssembly so it runs directly in a browser tab. Image compression and format conversion use the Canvas feature built into every modern browser. None of it depends on a server to function, which means none of it is capped by one either.

The practical upshot: no daily limit on how many images you can compress, no watermark stamped across a background-removed photo, and no upload wait even for a larger video file, since there's no upload step at all. Whether you're prepping product photos for an online store, shrinking a phone photo before emailing it, or cutting a screen recording down to the important few seconds, these tools are built to handle it in the same tab you're already working in.

Each tool below has its own dedicated page with full instructions and format details — click through to get started. If you're not sure which one fits your situation, the tool descriptions below are written to make that obvious at a glance rather than requiring guesswork.
