Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about privacy, formats, and offline use.
Yes. Reshrimp is free to use, with no accounts or premium tiers. It is open source under the MIT license.
All image processing happens in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server. Core tools can keep working offline after the first online visit, and background removal can work offline after its model assets download once. There are no analytics, no cookies, and no tracking.
Reshrimp can read JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, and HEIF images. Output formats are JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF using your browser's built-in encoding capabilities.
The upload limit is 50MB per image. In practice, the actual limit depends on your device's available memory since processing happens locally. Most devices handle images up to 50MB without issues.
Yes, after the first online visit the app shell and core tools work offline. Background removal works offline too after its model assets have been downloaded once.
The entire project is open source on GitHub. You can read, fork, or contribute to the code. The image-processing logic lives in TypeScript services that you can inspect directly.
Absolutely. There are no restrictions on how you use Reshrimp or the images you process with it. The tool itself is MIT-licensed, meaning you can even modify and redistribute it.
The quality slider controls JPEG, WebP, and AVIF output (0-100%) through your browser's built-in encoding. PNG export stays lossless. The preview updates after processing so you can review the result before downloading.
