Like Photopea, minus the editor.
Just the tool you actually need.
Photopea is a genuinely capable, free, browser-based image editor — layers, panels, a full Photoshop-style toolbar and menu system. That depth is great when you're doing real compositing work. But if you just want to compress, resize, crop or convert one photo, opening a full editor and hunting for the right menu is more than the job calls for. NearIMG is a set of focused, single-purpose tools instead: pick the one you need, drop your file, done.

Why does opening a full editor feel like overkill for a quick edit?
Photopea loads a full workspace — layers panel, tool ribbon, menus — because it's built for sessions where you're doing real compositing work. For a single crop or resize, most of that surface never gets touched. NearIMG's tools skip the workspace entirely: the page you land on is already the one control you need, so a quick edit doesn't mean navigating past tools you're not using.
How it works
- Pick the page named after your job — compress, resize, crop, convert, watermark — instead of opening a general-purpose editor.
- Drop your file. The page shows only that job's controls; there is no workspace, no layers panel, no menus to learn.
- Save, and you're done — the edit happens on your device and the result downloads immediately.
The structural difference is that NearIMG has no document model: no project file, no layers, no session to manage — each page is a single transformation applied to the files you drop. That's why it opens fast, works the same on a phone, and never asks you to learn an interface. It also marks the honest boundary: the moment a job involves compositing, masking, text layout or PSD files, you've outgrown a single-purpose tool, and a full editor like Photopea is the right call.
Is NearIMG a replacement for Photopea?
Not for everything, and it's not trying to be. Photopea is a full layered editor comparable to Photoshop, built for real editing sessions. NearIMG is a set of single-purpose tools — compress, resize, crop, convert, watermark and more — for quick, one-off jobs where opening a full editor would be overkill.
When should I use NearIMG instead of Photopea?
When you have one specific task — shrink a file size, resize for social media, crop a photo, convert a format — and don't need layers or a saved editing session. Each NearIMG tool opens straight to that job with nothing else to navigate. For multi-layer compositing or more involved edits, Photopea's fuller toolset is the better fit.
Can NearIMG open PSD or layered files?
No — there are no layers here. NearIMG works with flat images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, HEIC). For PSD files or layered editing, a full editor like Photopea is the right tool.
