What's new

Complete history of all changes, improvements, and fixes.

v1.6.0
Latest

Features

  • Crop images right in your browser with a new standalone tool — drag to select any area, lock popular aspect ratios, and download the trimmed result instantly.
  • Add standalone image resizing tool with custom dimensions and aspect ratio lock, plus an upgraded editing workbench for cropping and rotating.

Fixes

  • Fix excessively large PDF output sizes when converting cropped or uploaded images, and add a quality slider to customize image compression.
  • Fixed page splitting so selecting custom pages or ranges can extract each page into its own PDF file or separate files by range.

v1.5.2

Fixes

  • Fixed HTTP 500 errors and Brave "missing page" warnings on tool routes.

v1.5.1

Fixes

  • Colocate backend VM with database in Singapore and resolve Google OAuth sign-in timeout.

v1.5.0

Improvements

  • Sign in with Google is now backed by a dedicated authentication service.

Fixes

  • Prevent blank screen during Google login failures.
  • The "Sign in with Google" button now works on phones and tablets. Tapping it previously did nothing at all, with no error shown — it only responded to a mouse click.

Security

  • Your account is now identified by a stable internal ID rather than your email address, so changing your email can never link you to someone else's data.

v1.4.2

Improvements

  • Update community links to new GitHub discussions and add report bugs shortcut.

Fixes

  • Fix 404 on legal pages (/policy, /tos, /cookies).
  • Ensure the latest release tag (e.g. v1.4.1 before v1.4.0) appears first on the "What's New" page even when released on the same date.

v1.4.1

Fixes

  • Fixed Google sign-in failing with a "redirect_uri_mismatch" error caused by the backend never picking up its configured production URL.
  • Fixed the "What's New" page showing "No updates found" instead of the actual release notes.

v1.4.0

Features

Improvements
