✓One image or a full batch
Select exactly what should change.
Every added image starts selected. Process the full batch or narrow the selection first; the configured pipeline and settings apply to every included image.
How Image Shed works
From original to download in three steps.
- 1
Add images
Choose files, drop them in, or paste from your clipboard. Valid files stay selected by default.
- 2
Choose and configure
Pick a starting action, add compatible steps if needed, adjust the settings, and include the whole batch or only selected images.
- 3
Process and download
See every result, retry a failed item, and save the files you want.
Supported image formats
Common formats in. Flexible formats out.
JPEG
A widely supported choice for photographs and everyday sharing.
PNG
Useful for transparency, screenshots, logos, and crisp graphic edges.
WebP
A modern web format that supports transparency and flexible compression.
AVIF
A modern format for compact photographic images when browser support fits your audience.
HEIC files can be opened when your browser provides a compatible decoder.
Preview and local library
Check the result before you save it.
Compare the source and result on the same aligned image. Move the divider to inspect the edges, then download when it looks right.
- Original images stay unchanged
- Download one result or a completed batch
- Reprocess a result with different settings
Local by design
Your images stay on your device.
Image editing happens on your device. Image Shed does not upload your source images or finished files to its servers.
Local processing
File conversion, compression, previews, and finished results are handled in your browser.
Works again offline
Supported workflows can be reused offline after the app files, required codecs, and any selected background model have downloaded.
Clear limits
The default batch limit is 100 images at up to 50 MB each. Advanced settings can raise the batch limit to 500. Unusually large images may be declined when their pixel dimensions exceed what the browser can safely process.
Frequently asked questions
Before you begin.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Source images and processed outputs remain on your device.
Can I process a batch?
Yes. Start with up to 100 images and adjust the batch limit from 1 to 500 in Advanced settings.
Can Image Shed compress PNG files?
Not with the adjustable quality workflow. Change a PNG to WebP or AVIF when you need a much smaller file.
Does background removal work everywhere?
It is available on compatible desktop devices. The best-detail option needs a WebGPU-capable device; the quick, compatible option works more broadly, including without WebGPU.
Can I use Image Shed offline?
Supported workflows can be reused after the required app files, codecs, and selected background model have been downloaded on this device.
