What’s new?

The honest version history: what I added, why it’s useful, and what got a little better along the way.

No “synergy” or “game-changing solutions” in here. Promise.

Trace, refine, and download an image cutout more easily

Version 2.1.45

Freehand Cutout 2.0.0 now keeps the image large, makes corrections easier to understand, and gives you a clearer path from choosing a photo to downloading the finished cutout.

Work directly on a larger image

Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF file and start drawing right away. The desktop workspace gives most of the room to the image, while the phone layout separates editing and previewing into two easy-to-reach views.

Correct the outline without starting over

Add another area to keep, remove an unwanted section, undo the last change, or redraw the main outline. A redraw keeps the previous cutout available until the replacement is complete.

See what will be downloaded

The finished preview stays beside the canvas on a computer and shows its output dimensions. Save a trimmed transparent PNG, or choose a solid background and download a JPEG at the original image resolution.

Keep the original image on this device

Opening, tracing, previewing, and downloading all happen locally in the browser. The original file stays untouched, and no image, thumbnail, or cutout is uploaded to HandyPebble.

Keep student work and classroom jobs organized

Version 2.1.44

Two new Early Learning tools help teachers turn everyday classroom work into something useful to keep or print: Student Work Portfolio and Classroom Job Planner.

Build a portfolio from real student work

Add artwork photos, dates, student words, and teacher notes, then arrange full-page work or two pieces per page. The finished portfolio has its own clean Letter or A4 print layout instead of printing the editor.

Plan a fair classroom rotation

Edit the student list and classroom jobs, preview the next assignment, lock the choices that must stay put, and confirm the rotation only when it is ready. Previous confirmed rotations help balance future assignments.

Print charts or individual job cards

Create a classroom chart or a set of 85 × 50 mm helper cards, with separate Letter and A4 page arrangements. Draft work is labeled until the rotation is confirmed.

Keep classroom information on this device

Artwork, names, notes, saved drafts, and backup files stay in the browser. Both tools work without an account or upload, and downloadable backups can be restored later on the same or another device.

Get classroom names, groups, and artwork ready to print

Version 2.1.43

Three new School & Classroom tools help you turn a class list or a set of artwork credits into something ready to use: Name Tags & Labels, Classroom Group Maker, and Student Artwork Labels.

Make a whole class set of name tags

Paste names or import a list, then create folded desk tents, flat nameplates, or supply labels. Add preferred names, class details, and classroom numbers when needed, with Letter and A4 pages ready to print.

Build groups that stay put

Mark absences, choose a group count or maximum size, and swap two students when you need to. Printing, changing the design, and reopening a saved result keep the same group members.

Give student artwork clear credit

Create museum-style or compact labels, or switch to a separate writing workspace for full-page artist statements. Longer statements continue onto additional pages automatically, with each artwork keeping its own title, artist, and words.

Edit the text and reuse your work

Adjust fonts, sizes, and colors, and drag matching text sections together across a batch. Each tool has its own downloadable CSV template with 12 fictional examples and step-by-step import help. Print or download PDF and PNG pages locally, and choose whether to keep a project backup or a copy in this browser.

Turn camera details into a finished photo faster

Version 2.1.42

Photo Details Frame 2.0.0 now puts the finished photo first, keeps the choices easy to scan, and lets you save one photo or a full batch without sending the originals anywhere.

See the finished look right away

The page opens with a realistic example, then replaces it with your finished preview as soon as you choose a photo. On a computer, the controls stay narrow so the photo can remain large.

Choose a style you can actually see

Classic, Technical, and Overlay now use real effect previews instead of abstract color blocks. The selected finish updates the main preview immediately.

Edit only when you need to

Camera details, captions, and export settings stay visible but neatly folded. Open them to choose the exact EXIF fields, add a title or note, or switch between JPG and PNG.

Finish one photo or a whole batch

Open up to 12 JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, or HEIF photos, reorder or remove them, then save one result or download the batch as a ZIP. GPS remains off unless you explicitly include it, and all processing stays in the browser.

Round image corners without fighting the workspace

Version 2.1.41

Rounded Corners 1.1.0 now keeps the image, corner choices, and finished download easier to follow on both computers and phones, while the original file stays untouched on the device.

See the image and controls together

On a computer, the preview and corner settings now sit side by side. On a phone, the same job follows a clear single-column path without sideways scrolling or cramped controls.

Adjust the frame more smoothly

Zoom, drag, keyboard nudging, recentering, radius presets, and the hold-to-compare view respond more steadily. Rounded Corners still remembers useful export choices without saving the image, zoom, or position.

Download the format you expect

PNG and WebP keep transparent corners, while JPG uses the selected background color. Clearer file messages help with empty, damaged, unsupported, or oversized images, and the finished copy keeps the original pixel dimensions.

Keep the image in this browser

Opening, previewing, shaping, and downloading all happen locally. There is no account, cloud editor, image upload, or AI service.

Make images smaller and know exactly what you saved

Version 2.1.40

Image Compressor 2.0.0 now gives single images and mixed batches a clearer path from selection to a verified download, while every image stays on the device.

Start with a useful result

Add a JPG, PNG, or WebP and compression begins with a balanced setting. Choose a smaller file or higher quality when needed, then open the advanced settings only for exact quality, format, or maximum dimensions.

See the real size change

Each finished image shows its actual before-and-after size, dimensions, format, and percentage change. If a same-format re-encode is not smaller, the tool keeps the original instead of pretending the larger copy is an improvement.

Finish a mixed batch safely

Process up to 20 images while each one keeps its own proportions. A damaged or unsupported file gets its own clear message, duplicate names stay unique, and completed images can be downloaded separately or together in one ZIP.

Keep transparency and privacy clear

PNG and WebP transparency is preserved when the chosen format supports it, while JPG conversion uses the selected background color. Processing and downloads happen locally in the browser with no image upload or account.
