Learn English – “A tool to do” vs. “a tool that does” vs. “a tool for doing”

gerundsgrammaticalityinfinitivesmeaningprepositions

I'm the curator of the Open Web Platform Daily Digest link. In the "Tools" section of each daily I write entries in this format:

  • tool_name, tool_description

For example:

  • hapi, a server framework for Node.js

My question is, which of these should I use:

  • ClippingMagic, an online tool to remove image backgrounds
  • ClippingMagic, an online tool for removing image backgrounds
  • ClippingMagic, an online tool that removes image backgrounds

(That tool is located here btw.)

Best Answer

I think first two options will be better as the third option somewhat implies that ClippingMagic is an automated tool, i.e. it works without any human intervention. So if it is an automated tool then go for third option otherwise go for any of the first two options.

Hope it helps
