It took some time to process the image, but the end result was an image with its background removed. 👇In the sidebar menu, I noticed that the app had pulled the purple straight off my phone’s Dynamic color setting which was nice, and I then turned on “Amoled mode” for getting a deep black-themed interface. The sheer number of tools and settings in here might overwhelm you, though that does come down to personal preference.

What can it do for you?
There are two main app store listings for Image Toolbox. On F-Droid, it is under Malik’s own name, and on the Play Store, it is under the “ProgiX” publisher name.For me, there’s plenty in this app I’ll probably never touch. It makes me want a stripped-down version, something lighter on storage and memory; that would help it run better on older devices too.I picked an image from the gallery and then proceeded to look for the right aspect ratio preset.
I used it for a while
I ended up using the 4:5 aspect ratio preset for getting an Instagram-ready image. Though I admit it came out a bit squeezed, the image itself didn’t really lose its quality or colors.As you can see above, Image Toolbox gave me a clean output in the requested file format, without any particularly bad artifacting or overcuts. Zoom in, though, and the edges do lack sharpness. I think that’s acceptable for a deep learning model that size.🖼️And if you prefer multitasking, then you can queue up a batch of images and just check the notification panel for updates instead of keeping the app window open.Finally, I checked out “Presets” under the Resize and Convert tool, which basically showed me the same interface as Single Edit. The horizontally scrollable list had a variety of aspect ratios to fit the various social media platforms.Don’t worry, nothing gets sent to some data mining server; everything stays on the device.
None of those steps take long on their own, but doing them one after another for every single post does add up.My statistics showed me a total of 3 app opens, 19 tool opens, around 14 MB in data savings, and WEBP as my most-used format.For you, as a content creator, the tools that matter the most are batch processing, format conversion, the 61 built-in export presets sized for platforms like Instagram, X, and YouTube, background removal, and watermarking.🖼️
It has AI powers
You also have the freedom to opt for heavier, more powerful models if required.

Track usage
Pay once, Enjoy foreverIt’s built in Kotlin, uses Image Toolbox Libs for shared components, and Coil for image loading. The whole project is released under the Apache License 2.0.
That was followed by a prompt switching of the app to “Dark” mode instead of “System.”
Install it on Android
🖼️Exif editing also lives in the same area, with parameters like capture date, compression, camera make, and camera model all being editable without me needing to leave the app. I changed the camera make and model values, and the changes were reflected successfully when I saved the image.AI Tools was next. I added an image of a clock tower and went with the default/already downloaded U2NetP model that specializes in background removals. I set the output format to be WEBP and clicked on the save button.Though I did go a bit overboard with tone curves, where I pushed the RGB curve too far, and a simple picture of a cloudy day turned into a fever dream. 😅Image Toolbox ships with a “Usage Statistics” page, accessible via the chart-looking button at the top. Its job is to quietly track things like app opens, which tools you reach for most, and how much data you’ve saved along the way. There’s no separate paid plan available here either; the lead dev only asks for donations via the sidebar menu.
