The problem
You want to email a lighter photo, turn an iPhone HEIC into a JPG, or merge a few scans into one PDF, and the usual answer is: hand the files to some random website. But those photos can carry the GPS location where they were taken, and you rarely know what a free converter does with them afterward, or keeps. That's a lot of trust for such a small job.
How Feather (Image Compressor & PDF) works
- Drop in your photos — they stay on your device the whole time.
- Compress, resize or convert between HEIC, JPG, PNG and WebP, or merge everything into one PDF.
- Download your smaller files or the finished PDF; GPS data is stripped automatically along the way.
What you get
- Real compression, no uploadGet photos small enough for email or a listing without ever sending them to a server. The whole job runs right in your browser.
- Fix the annoying formatsTurn an iPhone HEIC into a JPG, or switch freely between JPG, PNG and WebP so any app or website accepts your image.
- Photos into one PDFMerge receipts, ID photos or scans into a single, tidy PDF that's easy to send or file away.
- GPS removed automaticallyLocation metadata is stripped during processing, so a shared photo doesn't quietly reveal where it was taken.
- More power with ProProcess large batches at once, hit an exact target size, build unlimited PDF pages and export as a .zip — $1 once.
Private by design
Feather does everything on your device, right in the browser. Nothing gets uploaded, so there's no server holding copies of your photos and no account to create — it even works offline. GPS location data is removed during processing, so the smaller photo or PDF you share doesn't quietly carry the coordinates of where it was taken.

FAQ
Is Feather free?
Yes. You can compress, convert, resize and merge up to three images per batch for free. Pro removes that limit and adds batch processing, unlimited exact-size targets with saved presets, unlimited PDF pages and .zip export.
Can I shrink a photo to an exact size for an online form?
Yes. Tap the Government form preset or type a target like 200 KB, and Feather finds the best quality that fits, scaling the photo down only if it has to. The free plan does this once a day; Pro has no limit.
Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?
No. Every step runs in your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to a server or stored online anywhere.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Feather runs in any modern phone or desktop browser and keeps working offline once it's loaded — handy for HEIC photos straight off an iPhone.
What do I get with Pro?
Batch processing, unlimited exact-size targets with saved presets, unlimited PDF pages and .zip export — for $1 once, no subscription.
