Asset Melt
Asset Melt is a browser-based image studio for compression, conversion, resizing, cropping, and batch export.
What Asset Melt is
Asset Melt is a browser-based image studio for compression, conversion, resizing, cropping, and batch export. It handles formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, TIFF, JPEG XL, and QOI. Users can compress to a chosen quality or target file size, resize to exact dimensions, crop without altering the original, rotate, flip, and adjust brightness and contrast. For batch work, images can be queued and reordered, processing can be paused or canceled, and results can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP. Presets cover OG images, X cards, Instagram sizes, App Store screenshots, newsletter images, and favicon kits. Image decoding and editing run in browser workers using WebAssembly codecs. The maker says there is no upload endpoint and images remain on the user’s device unless exported. Asset Melt is free forever, with no account, subscription, or artificial limits. It can be installed as a PWA, with optional offline use after downloading its pack, and can import JSON pipelines for repeatable compression workflows.
