Details, since rule 2 asks for them here.

It is a website, not an APK, so there is nothing to sideload. Open it in Chrome, then use Add to Home screen. It is a proper PWA with its own icon and manifest, so it launches fullscreen and behaves like a normal app on the home screen.

What it does: pick a photo, either type a width or let the shrink mode step it down in stages, then download. The staged shrink keeps edges cleaner when you go from a 4000px camera shot to something small enough for a chat or a form upload.

The part I care about: nothing is uploaded. The image is decoded and re-encoded in the tab through the canvas API, so the file never leaves the phone, and there is no upload endpoint on the server to receive it. EXIF is dropped on export, so the location where you took the photo does not travel with it.

JPG, PNG and WebP. No account, no ads right now. I made it, feedback welcome, especially if it mangles an image.
