Keep useful tools close.
Star the tools you use often to bring them to the top of your results. Favorites stay in that browser and need no account.

Plainview Tools: 39 utilities, one place to start.
Plainview Web designed and built a free collection for everyday web tasks, from preparing images to reviewing copy and page markup. A searchable directory, browser favorites, and practical guides help visitors find a tool and put it to use.
From question to result
A useful collection needs a clear way in.
Search by the task you need to finish, narrow the results by category, and open a tool directly from its card.
Make results easy to interpret.
A calculation, a preview, and an editorial suggestion answer different questions. The tool pages distinguish measured results from approximations and guidance, with methods and sources where relevant.
Try the tools
Small interfaces with a specific job.
Prepare an image, check its metadata, or compare two drafts with these free tools.
Prepare an image in your browser
Adjust dimensions and export settings, then compare the actual generated size. Supported files stay in the browser.
Open Image Compressor & Resizer
Inspect before sharing
Review supported image metadata, understand removal limits, and verify a cleaned copy without uploading the source.
Open Metadata & Privacy Cleaner
Review what changed
Compare two drafts, inspect changed passages, and export a summary.
Open Text Difference CheckerA closer look
Make room for the original image.
An image resizer needs to accept a file that is larger than the result someone wants. A reported error exposed an input check that applied the export limit too early, rejecting a 3,759 × 4,250px portrait before it could be reduced.
The implemented change
The Image Compressor & Resizer now uses separate limits for originals and exports. Supported originals can be up to 12,000px per edge, 50 megapixels and 10 MiB; larger originals start at a proportional size within the export limits. The reported portrait was verified loading and saving at 2,706 × 3,060px.
The tradeoff
Processing stays in the browser, with bounded file and dimension limits because device memory is finite. The change does not promise support for every camera file or every device. A server-backed workflow is another option for larger jobs, with upload handling and storage requirements to plan separately.
