Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I built cutbg after one too many upload forms told me my photo was "too large" — and every free tool that could fix it wanted me to upload a passport scan or a signature to its server first.

A browser can do all of this on its own, so in cutbg everything runs on your device:

Compress to an exact size (20 KB, 100 KB, 2 MB…): it tries JPEG quality first and only shrinks the pixels if it has to.
Remove metadata: shows the GPS, camera and date hidden in a photo, strips them, then re-reads the output to confirm 0 tags are left.
Remove background: the AI model downloads once and runs locally.
PDF tools: merge, split, rotate, compress, sign, delete pages, add page numbers.

You can check the "nothing is uploaded" part yourself: load a tool, turn on airplane mode, and it still works.

It's a side project with no account and no watermark. I'd love to hear what breaks on your phone and which tool you'd want next.
