Why ailegs exists

What we believe

Good tools should be free, fast, and private. You shouldn't need to sign up to compress an image. You shouldn't see a watermark on a PDF you merged. You shouldn't have to trust a company with your photos just to resize them.

Browser technology has caught up to the point where image compression, PDF editing, and even AI-powered background removal can run locally in WebAssembly. No server round-trip. No upload queue. No privacy concern.

How our tools actually work

Three layers do all the heavy lifting:

• WebAssembly codecs (mozjpeg, libwebp, libavif, pdf-lib) compile to ~90% of native speed. The same libraries that power professional image tools now run in your browser tab.
• Web Workers run processing off the main thread so the UI stays responsive even with large batches.
• Service workers cache the tool shell so everything works offline after your first visit.

The only time data leaves your device is if you explicitly opt into AI features that genuinely require server compute (like the Background Remover running a large vision model). Even then, files are processed and discarded — never stored.

How we pay the bills

ailegs runs ads (AdSense) on non-tool pages — blog posts, guides, landing pages. Tool pages are intentionally clean; we don't want to interrupt you when you're working.

We also earn affiliate commissions when you click through to an AI tool we recommend in a review. Those links are always marked rel="sponsored" and we only recommend things we'd use ourselves.

No subscriptions. No premium tier. Probably never.

What's next

We're publicly building in these directions:

• 50+ tools across image, PDF, video, AI, dev, text, design, convert
• Daily guides on our blog
• Open-source-ing more of the underlying libraries
• API access for developers
• A free tier of on-device AI via WebGPU
