About OpusImg
OpusImg is an image workspace that runs in your browser. Most of what it does never touches our servers — and where it does, the page says so before you upload anything.
Who builds this
OpusImg is a SaaS product of Axiom Opus Labs, the company that also makes OpusPDF. Axiom Opus Labs owns and operates the service, and is the company named in the terms and privacy policy.
OpusImg is built by Sharful (github.com/sharful), a one-person team. There is no sales department, no account manager, and no enterprise tier that unlocks the same software you already have. Support email goes to a person rather than a ticket queue — usually answered within one business day.
That shape explains most of the product decisions below. A small operation cannot afford to run a fleet of servers doing work a browser can do for free, and it has no business model that depends on holding onto your files. The privacy position and the economics point the same way, which is a more durable arrangement than a promise on its own.
Why it runs in your browser
The conventional way to build an online image tool is to upload the file, process it in a data centre, and hand back a download link. That made sense when browsers could not decode a JPEG without help. It has not been true for years, and it carries three costs that get passed to you: the wait for a round trip, a hard file-size limit imposed by the upload, and a copy of your image sitting on infrastructure you cannot inspect.
OpusImg runs the everyday work locally instead. Compression, format conversion, resizing, cropping, rotation, colour adjustment, redaction, watermarking, OCR and PDF assembly are all performed by WebAssembly codecs and canvas operations inside the tab you already have open. The file is read from your disk, processed in memory, and written back to your downloads folder. It is not uploaded, not queued, and not stored, because there is nowhere for it to go.
The practical effects are worth naming. It is faster, because a file that never travels does not wait for a network. On-device tools accept files up to 50 MB; past that, the ceiling is your device’s memory. Files we process on a server are a different limit, 25 MB on the Free plan. And the local tools are usable for material you are not permitted to put in someone else’s cloud: client work, medical paperwork, signed contracts, identity documents.
What is sent to a server, tool by tool
Some things a browser cannot do. Background removal, upscaling, restoration and object removal need a GPU running a trained model, so those tools upload your image, process it, and return the result. We think the honest way to handle that is to be specific rather than reassuring, so every tool page carries a badge stating where its work happens before you choose a file, and the table below is generated from the same catalogue that drives those badges.
| Where the work happens | Tools |
|---|---|
| Stays on your device | Blur & redact, Bulk create from CSV, Collage & contact sheet, Color adjust, Compress, Convert format, Crop, Filters, GIF maker, ID card cropper, Image splitter & carousel, Image to PDF, Image to text, PDF to image, Resize, Rotate & Flip, Screenshot beautifier, Sign a document, Signature maker, Social media resize, Watermark, Website image kit |
| Depends on the step | Passport photo, Product photo kit, Scan to searchable PDF |
| Uploaded to our servers | AI Upscale 4×, Auto Enhance, Magic eraser, Remove background, Restore old photos, Scan cleanup |
“Depends on the step” means exactly that, and those tools are built so the choice is yours. Scan to searchable PDF, for instance, runs page ordering, text recognition and PDF assembly on your device for free; only the optional AI cleanup pass is uploaded, and you can skip it and still get a finished searchable document. What we do not do in any case is train models on your files. The full detail — retention windows, sub-processors, and your rights over anything we do hold — is in the privacy policy.
How we make money
Subscriptions, and nothing else. There are no ads, no affiliate links, and no arrangement under which your files or your behaviour are sold to anyone. The Free plan is not a trial that expires — the browser tools are free to use and need no account, because they cost us nothing to run. Pro pays for the things that do: AI on our GPUs, large batches, and saved workflows.
Pro is $9 per month, or $84 billed yearly, and covers the AI tools that need a GPU. Business is $24 per seat per month, with a 3-seat minimum ($72 a month), for teams that need higher limits. Payments, invoices and subscription management are handled by Lemon Squeezy as our merchant of record, which is also who handles sales tax and VAT. Current prices and what each plan includes are on the pricing page.
Charging for the expensive part and giving away the cheap part is not generosity; it is the only pricing that matches what the software actually costs to operate. It also means the incentive to move work onto a server — where it could be metered — points the wrong way for us, which is the sort of alignment worth checking for in any tool you hand a private file to.
