A full image studio
The image category is the largest in QRix, with 72 tools organized around the jobs people actually do: converting between formats, reducing file size, resizing and cropping, making edits, and applying effects and filters.
The tools share a consistent interface — drop an image in, adjust the settings that matter for that task, and download the result. Many accept several images at once for batch work, and there is a single search and category filter so you can find the right tool quickly.
All of it runs in the browser using the Canvas API, the same technology that powers image editing across the modern web. Your pictures are decoded, transformed, and re-encoded on your device, never uploaded.
Format conversion
Converting between image formats is the most common task, and the choice of format is really a choice about trade-offs. PNG preserves every pixel exactly and supports transparency, which makes it ideal for logos, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges.
JPG uses lossy compression that produces small files for photographs, at the cost of discarding some detail. WebP and AVIF are modern formats that generally beat both, delivering smaller files at similar quality, and QRix can convert to and from them so you can modernize assets for the web.
Because each conversion decodes the source and re-encodes it locally, you control the trade-off directly. Convert a photo to JPG or WebP to shrink it for a website; convert a graphic to PNG to keep crisp edges and transparency; convert to AVIF when you want the smallest modern-browser-friendly file.
Compression and resizing
Compression and resizing are the fastest ways to make an image lighter. Compression re-encodes the image at a lower quality setting, trading detail you may not notice for a much smaller file — the right lever when the dimensions are fine but the file is too heavy for email or the web.
Resizing changes the pixel dimensions themselves. Shrinking a 6000-pixel-wide camera photo to 1600 pixels for a blog post cuts the file dramatically because there is simply less image to store. Cropping removes area you do not need and reframes the subject.
QRix gives you direct control over quality and dimensions and previews the result, so you can find the point where the file is small enough but still looks right. Since the work is local, you can experiment freely without re-uploading between attempts.
Editing and effects
Beyond format and size, the studio includes editing tools — adjusting brightness, contrast, and color; rotating and flipping; adding borders or rounding corners — and a range of effects and filters for a particular look.
These operate on the pixels through the Canvas engine, applying the transformation and re-encoding the image on the spot. Because there is no upload-process-download cycle, edits feel immediate, and you can chain tools by running the output of one through another.
The effect tools are creative rather than corrective — grayscale, duotone, blur, and similar treatments — useful for thumbnails, social graphics, and quick stylizing without opening heavyweight software.
On-device and metadata-aware
Every image tool processes your picture in the browser. This is a privacy feature as much as a performance one: personal photos, product shots, and design files never touch a server, so there is no remote copy to manage.
It is also worth knowing what happens to metadata. Photos carry hidden EXIF data — camera model, timestamps, and sometimes GPS coordinates. Re-encoding an image through a Canvas-based tool typically drops that embedded data, which is usually what you want before posting a photo publicly.
If you specifically need to inspect or strip metadata, or preserve it, keep that in mind when choosing a tool. As with the rest of QRix, you can confirm the local-only behavior by watching your browser's network tab while a tool runs.
