Free photo tools
Small tools for getting a photo ready to print or restore. They run in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and there’s no account, watermark or limit.

Open the toolPixels to inches converter
Convert pixels to inches or centimetres at any PPI, or inches to the pixels a print needs. With common resolutions like 1920×1080.

All guidesQuestions
Are these photo tools really free?
Yes. The photo scanner, HEIC to JPG converter, crop tool and print size checker are free with no account, no watermark and no limit. Only restoring, colorizing and upscaling are paid, and restoring and colorizing show a free preview first.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The free tools run entirely in your browser, and the results are saved straight to your device. Nothing is sent to us, so they work with private family photos too.
How do I digitize an old photo without a scanner?
Photograph the print with your phone in daylight, without flash, then open the picture in the free photo scanner. It finds the photo's corners, straightens it and crops away the table, giving you a flat digital copy you can share, restore or reprint.
How big can I print my photo?
It depends on its pixels: for a sharp print you want about 300 pixels per inch, so an 8×10 needs about 2400×3000 pixels. The print size checker reads your photo and lists every standard size it can print sharp.
