About MediaKit
Questions
FAQ
What is a good Image Size alternative for iPhone and Mac?
MediaKit suits people who want more than resizing. Image Size (by Vitalij Schaefer) is a focused, free, ad-supported iOS app for resizing photos to exact pixel, millimeter, centimeter, or inch dimensions. MediaKit resizes and compresses photos for free with no ads, and with Pro it converts to HEIC, JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, or WebP, strips metadata, runs OCR, and removes backgrounds with Apple Vision. It has more than 150 tools in all, including video, audio, PDF, and archive tools, and one purchase covers iPhone and Mac.
Can MediaKit resize images to exact dimensions like Image Size?
Yes, in pixels. MediaKit's Image Resize is one of the five tools that stay free for good, one file at a time. Image Compress, also free, shrinks a photo to a quality level or a target file size. Image Size does resizing very well, with multitouch crop and print units (mm, cm, in), which MediaKit doesn't offer. MediaKit's strength is what comes after: compress, convert, or clean up the result in the same app.
Is MediaKit free like Image Size?
Both can be used for free. Image Size is free with ads; a one-time purchase (around $29.99) removes them, and extras like the object eraser are sold separately. MediaKit shows no ads. Five tools, including Image Resize and Image Compress, stay free for good, one file at a time, and your first 3 days unlock every other tool for single-file runs with no payment. Pro adds every tool and batches for $3.99/month or $22.99/year, each starting with a 3-day free trial, or $39.99 once.
Does MediaKit show ads or upload my photos?
No to both. MediaKit has no ads, and every tool runs on your iPhone or Mac, so your photos never leave the device. The app makes no network requests of its own and has no analytics SDK. Image Size also processes on the device, but its free tier is ad-supported.
Why pick MediaKit over Image Size?
Pick it if resizing is only the first step. If you only ever resize photos, Image Size is a clean, capable single-purpose tool. If you also compress photos to a size limit, convert HEIC, strip location data before sharing, run OCR, remove backgrounds, or work with video, audio, PDFs, and archives, MediaKit handles all of it in one app without ads on iPhone and Mac.
Does MediaKit work on both iPhone and Mac?
Yes. MediaKit runs on iPhone and Mac, and one purchase covers both. There is no iPad version. Image Size is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Competitor pricing and features were checked against the App Store on 2026-05-31; they change, so check again before buying.
