Why pick RoundCut

Factual differentiators — no hype, no invented metrics.

Privacy-first by design

Circle crop processes files entirely on your device — verifiable in DevTools → Network. Compression and AI background removal use auto-scoped cloud workers: tenant-isolated, never used for training, never shared with third parties.
Original resolution preserved

Exports at the input's native pixel density, up to 4096 px per side. Other free tools often downscale to 350–1024 px.
Free forever, no account

No paid tier, no watermark, no email prompt. The whole app ships as static assets — cheap to host, zero incentive to paywall.
Modern format support

Handles JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, and GIF natively. Output to PNG, WebP, or JPEG with full transparency where applicable.
Offline-capable

After the first load, tools work without a network connection. Bookmark the page, edit on a plane.
Verifiable, documented architecture

Every claim is observable: DevTools → Network shows zero requests for Circle Crop, and the server-side tools document exactly what is sent, what is cached, and what is auto-deleted. No analytics, no tracking scripts, no third-party cookies on tool pages.

How RoundCut works

RoundCut splits work between your browser and our servers based on what each tool needs. Circle crop is 100% in-browser; compression and AI background removal use auto-scoped cloud workers. No accounts, no watermarks, no tracking.

Circle crop runs entirely on your device using the HTML5 Canvas API — open DevTools → Network and confirm no image leaves your browser.

Compression posts your image to our Cloudflare Worker → VPS, where sharp + libvips re-encode it with professional-grade codecs (the same libraries CDNs and design platforms use). The image is scoped to a tenant key, the cache is tenant-isolated, and we never share content with third parties or use it for training.

AI background removal sends your image to our Cloudflare Worker (BiRefNet on edge GPUs). The result returns to your browser and the staging copy is dropped — for files over 5 MB or when offline, a browser-side AI fallback kicks in automatically.

RoundCut works on any modern browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — on desktop and mobile. Every tool is accessible, keyboard-navigable, and follows the latest web standards.

Frequently asked questions

Is RoundCut really free?

Yes. No paid tier, no watermark, no sign-up. The tool is funded by us and does not collect your images or personal data.

Does my photo get uploaded to a server?

It depends on the tool, and we are upfront about it. Circle Crop runs 100% in your browser — DevTools → Network shows zero image requests. Compression posts the image to our server for sharp + libvips encoding (tenant-isolated cache, never shared, never used for training). AI Background Remover sends the image to our Cloudflare Worker (BiRefNet on edge GPUs) by default and falls back to a browser AI for offline use or files over 5 MB.

Which file formats are supported?

Input depends on the tool: Circle Crop accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, BMP, HEIC, HEIF, and SVG. Compress accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF. Background Remover accepts JPG and PNG. Output formats vary per tool — every tool page lists what it produces.

Will it keep my original image resolution?

Yes. RoundCut preserves the input resolution up to 4096 px per side. Unlike free tools that compress to 350 px or 1024 px, there is no hidden downscale on the way out.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. RoundCut runs on any modern browser — iOS Safari, Chrome on Android, Firefox, Edge — on phone, tablet, and desktop. The interface adapts to the viewport.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. RoundCut does not claim any rights over your images. Whatever license you have on the source image, you keep after editing. Commercial projects are fine.

Why is RoundCut free?

Hosting is cheap because much of the work happens in your browser. The server-side tools (compression, AI background removal) run on infrastructure we already pay for — rate-limited per IP, tenant-isolated, with no per-image cost passed to you. No paid tier, no upsell, no watermark.

How do I verify the privacy claims?

For Circle Crop: open DevTools → Network and confirm zero image requests while you edit; the tool also works offline after the first page load. For Compression and AI Background Remover: the request goes to /api/compress and /api/remove-bg respectively, with no third-party calls. Every component is documented in docs/compress.md and docs/bg-remover.md so you can audit the architecture.
