How do color & design tools work in the browser?

ToolWeb processes supported color & design tools directly in your browser using modern web standards including WebAssembly and the HTML5 Canvas API.

When you select a file, your browser reads and processes it locally on your device. This keeps the workflow fast and avoids sending the original file to a remote server.

Why use in-browser tools instead of cloud services?

Traditional online tools usually upload your files to remote servers before processing. In-browser tools handle supported tasks directly on your machine, eliminating file upload wait times and keeping your files on your local device.
