1. Compress images without making them unnecessarily large

Large photos can be inconvenient when a website, application form or email has a file-size limit. An image compressor can reduce the file size while allowing you to balance quality and size.

With the BHR Tools Image Compressor, you can work with JPG, PNG and WebP images, adjust quality and resize dimensions when needed.

2. Resize an image to exact dimensions

Profile photos, website graphics and online forms often require specific width and height values. Instead of repeatedly guessing, use the Image Resizer to set dimensions or resize by percentage.

3. Convert JPG, PNG and WebP

Different platforms accept different image formats. The Image Converter helps convert between common JPG, PNG and WebP formats. Remember that converting a transparent image to JPEG removes transparency.

4. Crop only the part of a photo you need

Cropping helps remove unwanted borders or focus on an important area. The Image Cropper supports free cropping as well as useful aspect ratios for common layouts.

5. Combine several PDFs into one document

When certificates, forms or reports are stored as separate PDFs, combining them can make sharing easier. Use Merge PDF to arrange multiple PDF files and create one document.

6. Turn photos or scanned pages into a PDF

If document pages are stored as images, the Images to PDF tool can combine them into a single PDF with page-size and orientation options.

7. Make scanned documents searchable with OCR

A normal scan is often just a picture of text. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can recognize text so a resulting document can become more useful for searching and selecting text. BHR Tools includes an Image Document to Searchable PDF tool with multiple language options.

Tip: OCR accuracy depends heavily on the source image. Straight pages, clear text, good lighting and higher-resolution scans generally give better recognition than blurred or heavily distorted images.

8. Split a PDF or extract selected pages

You may need only a few pages from a large document. Split PDF lets you work with page ranges, selected pages or separate every page into its own PDF.

9. Convert PDF pages into images

Sometimes a PDF page needs to be shared as an image or used in another document. The PDF to Images tool converts PDF pages into JPG or PNG images.

10. Count words, characters and reading time

Writers, students and people filling online forms often need accurate text length. The Word & Character Counter provides live counts for words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and more.

11. Format and validate JSON

Raw JSON can become difficult to read, especially when it is minified. Developers can use the JSON Formatter & Validator to beautify, validate or minify JSON data.

12. Solve common percentage calculations

Discounts, increases, decreases and percentage changes appear everywhere in everyday work. The Percentage Calculator provides several common percentage calculations in one place.

Why browser-based tools are useful

Browser tools are convenient because there is usually nothing to install. Many BHR Tools utilities are also designed to perform their main file processing locally in your browser where practical. Individual features may still load required libraries or resources from third-party providers.

Choose the right tool for the job

The best tool is often the simplest one that solves the task correctly. Keep an original copy of important files, review converted or compressed output before submitting it, and use clear source documents when working with OCR.
