TapCrop and iLoveIMG both crop, resize, compress and convert images online for free. The main difference is where the work happens: TapCrop processes every image locally in your browser, so files are never uploaded, while iLoveIMG uploads images to its servers. Choose TapCrop when privacy and batch consistency matter; choose iLoveIMG when you also need its wider set of one-off web utilities.
| Dimension | TapCrop | iLoveIMG |
|---|---|---|
| Where images are processed | Locally in your browser — never uploaded | Uploaded to iLoveIMG servers |
| Batch processing | Built in — crop/resize a whole batch to the same size | Supported; larger batches favor its premium tier |
| Core tools | Crop, resize, compress, convert, watermark, HEIC | Broad web toolset, including PDF tools |
| Account to start | No signup to start | Optional for basic use |
| Works offline once loaded | Yes — processing needs no network | No — needs a round-trip to the server |
| Price | Free to start; Pro for higher limits | Free with limits; paid premium |
Choose TapCrop when you want images to stay on your device, when you are batch-cropping or resizing many photos to one consistent size, or when you are on a slow or offline connection and do not want to wait on uploads.
Choose iLoveIMG when you need its wider catalog of one-off web utilities in one place — including PDF tools and format helpers that TapCrop does not offer — and you are comfortable uploading files to a server.
Yes, especially if privacy matters. TapCrop crops, resizes, compresses and converts images like iLoveIMG, but processes everything locally in your browser so images are never uploaded.
iLoveIMG processes images on its servers, which means your files are uploaded. TapCrop does all processing in your browser, so images stay on your device.
Both handle batches. TapCrop is built around batch consistency — cropping or resizing a whole set to one size — without uploading. iLoveIMG works too if you are fine uploading files.
TapCrop needs no signup to start, and nothing is uploaded.
