ImageWiperClean the web.
Keep the words.
Instantly hide every image and video on any page with a single hotkey — for focus, privacy, and bandwidth savings.
The quiet web is faster than you think
Most pages carry more pixels than prose. Strip the imagery and the same article loads in a fraction of the time — and reads twice as calmly. The words were the point all along.
Scroll on and the story continues — uninterrupted, lightweight, distraction-free.

How the free limit works
A usage counter in the popup tracks how many images you’ve hidden — each unique image, video or embed counts once. When you reach 50,000, hiding pauses and a one-time unlock prompt appears.
Lifetime unlock via BrowserBill — one-time, secure payment (Stripe).
Next step: Install ImageWiper, then open the extension popup and sign in with the same email you used at checkout. Your lifetime license syncs automatically.
Private by design
The product is built to get out of your way — including with your data.
No data collection
Your browsing stays yours. We don’t track what you read.
Local-only settings
Your preferences live on your device, never our servers.
Secure payments
Handled by PCI-compliant BrowserBill — we never see your card.
Lightweight
Only runs on the pages you visit. No background drain.
