ImageForge

ImageForge is a web-based image toolkit that bundles the edits you usually need a handful of separate tools for: AI background removal, resizing, format conversion, EXIF inspection, and cloud storage — with batch processing and bulk download built in.

Features

• AI background removal that runs entirely in your browser via @imgly/background-removal (WASM) — images never have to leave the device for this step.
• Server-side processing with Sharp — resize, convert formats, and optimize.
• Client-side compression before upload (browser-image-compression) to keep things fast.
• EXIF metadata reading (exif-reader) — inspect the data baked into your photos.
• Batch operations with one-click bulk download as a zip (JSZip).
• Cloud storage on AWS S3, with accounts via Clerk.
