New KDP planning tools

Three browser-local calculators are now available for directional KDP sales, royalty, and monthly profit planning.

  • KDP Sales Estimator shows a broad, low-confidence monthly-sales range from a manually entered amazon.com Books or Kindle BSR.
  • KDP Royalty Calculator estimates eBook, paperback, and hardcover royalty per sale with editable assumptions.
  • KDP Monthly Profit Estimator combines manual sales, a directional BSR range, or a fixed scenario with estimated royalty and monthly costs.
  • These independent planning tools do not connect to Amazon or your KDP account. Confirm current KDP rules before making publishing or pricing decisions.

More background remover export options

Background removal tools now let you choose transparent or solid-background outputs instead of only downloading transparent PNG files.

  • White Background Remover, Color Background Remover, and Transparent PNG Maker still default to transparent PNG output.
  • Transparent output can use PNG or browser-supported WebP.
  • Solid background output can use PNG, JPEG, or browser-supported WebP with a selected fill color.
  • JPEG is available only for solid-background output because JPEG does not support transparency.

Tool workflow improvements

Several everyday tools were improved with quicker presets, clearer guidance, and small workflow helpers.

  • Resize Image now includes practical fit presets that keep the whole image and preserve its aspect ratio.
  • Images to PDF has clearer print-friendly and printer-safe guidance for creating PDFs that are easier to handle.
  • Upload File Checker now includes useful requirement presets plus image dimension checks.
  • Word Counter now supports word and character targets or limits, and Spin the Wheel can shuffle, copy lists, and remove winners after a spin.
  • Text Cleaner and List Cleaner now explain more clearly which tool to use for paragraph cleanup versus one-item-per-line lists.

New image and PDF tools added

New browser tools were added for favicon generation, image metadata cleanup, PDF rotation, PDF watermarking, PDF page cropping, and image-to-PDF workflows.

  • Create favicon PNGs from one image, optionally remove simple white or near-white backgrounds, and choose transparent or solid-color outputs.
  • Clean common image metadata by re-exporting images in the browser before everyday sharing.
  • Rotate PDF pages, add text watermarks, crop visible PDF margins, and convert images into a downloadable PDF without uploading the file.
  • Image-to-PDF output now focuses on practical browser workflows. White background cleanup is simple color-based cleanup, not an AI cutout tool.

LocalMini launched

LocalMini is now live with a growing set of free browser tools for images, PDFs, QR codes, text, and everyday tasks.

  • LocalMini focuses on fast mini tools that run in your browser where possible.
  • Current tools do not require a login, and browser-local tools avoid intentional LocalMini server upload for the main task.
