Two controls remember what they’re doing

Version 1.1.1

The Watermark Maker can tilt repeated marks, and Border & Padding now remembers the frame you built.

Diagonal repeats

Turn on “Repeat across the image,” then slide from −60° through 0° to +60°. The angle stays disabled when repeat is off, so a single watermark still behaves exactly as expected.

Frame memory

Padding, corners, colors, border width, shadow, file format, and quality stay on this device for the next image.

A real reset

“Start over” only removes the current image. “Reset saved settings” asks for confirmation before returning every remembered frame setting to its defaults.

Still private

Both improvements run inside the browser. Images and saved preferences never leave the browser.

The subject can finally scoot over

Version 1.0.6

The Rounded Corners preview now lets you zoom in and drag the image until the important part sits exactly where it should.

Added

A 100–250% zoom slider, mouse and finger dragging, double-click recentering, and arrow-key nudging.

Kept sensible

Zoom and position belong to one image, so they reset when you choose another instead of following you around like an uninvited plus-one.

Download behavior

The saved file keeps the original pixel dimensions. Zooming simply crops the outer edges you moved beyond the frame.

Still private

Framing, previewing, and downloading all happen locally in the browser. The image never leaves your device.

Sharp corners get an easier exit

Version 1.0.5

The Rounded Corners tool adds a clean finish to photos and graphics without turning a two-minute job into a design-software tutorial.

Added

Four useful radius presets, a live slider, smooth and classic curves, and a press-and-hold original comparison.

Kept simple

It handles one image at a time: choose it, shape it, and download. Export settings stay tucked away until you need them.

Privacy

Images are processed locally in the browser. HandyPebble never receives, stores, or reads the file.

Why one image?

Corner shaping is visual. Focusing on one preview makes the decision faster and keeps the interface easy to understand.

The file-format headache gets a shortcut

Version 1.0.4

The Image Converter turns iPhone photos, web downloads, and assorted “unsupported file” surprises into JPG, PNG, or WebP—without a cloud upload.

Added

Local conversion for JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, and GIF inputs, with batches of up to 25 images.

Why it helps

You can move an iPhone photo to a PC, open a WebP in an editor, or prep transparent artwork without starting a whole research project.

Privacy

This is hand-coded browser software, not an AI service. Files stay on your device, and HandyPebble never receives them.

Also useful

One-click ZIP downloads, honest quality notes, and a choice of JPG backgrounds for transparent images.

Words get their own studio

Version 1.0.3

The Text Card Maker turns quotes, thoughts, and tiny manifestos into sharp PNGs—without making you wrestle a full design app.

Added

Nine original themes, ten type moods, four social-media sizes, alignment controls, long-text fitting, and watermark-free PNG downloads.

Why it helps

You can make a quote card, announcement, or shareable thought in a minute, even on a phone.

Privacy

Your text and finished image stay in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded, saved, or read by HandyPebble.

A little personality

The tool borrows its energy from print shops, subway signs, corner stores, and people who still care about good type.

Image Resizer joins the toolbox

Version 1.0.2

The second pebble is here. It resizes one image or a whole batch without sending anything to a server.

Added

Percentage, maximum-width, and exact-pixel resizing for JPG, PNG, and WebP.

Why it helps

You can fix oversized uploads, prep blog images, or hit an exact dimension without opening an editor.

Privacy

The resizer runs entirely in your browser. I can’t see or keep your images.

Also improved

The homepage is now a proper tool directory, and shared image code has a clean home for future tools.

The first pebble

Version 1.0.1

HandyPebble went from a coming-soon page to a working website with its first real tool.

Added

A private Image Compressor for JPG, PNG, and WebP, with batch support and clear size savings.

Why it helps

Smaller images load faster, fit upload limits, and take up less space.

Built for trust

No account, no file upload, no storage. The useful stuff is right where you need it.

Under the hood

Search metadata, a sitemap, mobile layouts, and a folder structure that won’t turn into a junk drawer.
