A small toolkit for everyday image work.
PixelsTools is a collection of browser tools built by Moheen Ahmad Khan for routine image and media tasks. The project focuses on clear controls, local processing where practical, and honest limits.

Moheen Ahmad Khan
FullStack Developer — Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
I am a FullStack developer with over five years of professional experience building web applications using React.js, Next.js, and modern browser technologies. I hold a Bachelor of Computer Science from Abbottabad University of Science and Technology and have worked across a range of companies from local agencies in Abbottabad and Lahore to fully remote teams.
I built PixelsTools because I kept running into the same problem: simple image tasks like compression, background removal, or format conversion required uploading files to servers I knew nothing about. I knew the browser could handle all of this locally, so I built the tools I wished existed fast, private, and completely free.
Outside of PixelsTools, I currently work as a Frontend Developer at EcomPlug in Rawalpindi, where I build and migrate Ecommerce storefronts using Next.js and Tailwind CSS. I specialize in performance optimization, responsive UI design, and clean, maintainable code.

Why PixelsTools exists
It started with a frustration most designers and developers know well. You need to quickly compress an image, remove a background, or convert a file format. So you search for a tool. You find one. And then you spend the next few minutes uploading your file to a server you know nothing about, waiting for it to process, logging in or creating an account just to download the result, and wondering what happens to your file after.
For tasks this simple, modern browsers are genuinely capable of handling image processing locally — using WebAssembly for heavy computation, the Canvas API for pixel manipulation, and Web Workers to keep everything fast and non-blocking.
PixelsTools was built to put that capability to use. Most image tools process selected files locally. OCR and AI features may download supporting libraries or models before processing begins.
How the tools work
Each tool on PixelsTools uses a different combination of browser technologies, depending on what the task requires:
Canvas API
Used for image compression, resizing, format conversion, watermarking, and color picking. The browser renders your image onto a canvas element, manipulates the pixel data in memory, and exports the result — all locally.
WebAssembly (WASM)
Used for the Background Remover, which runs an AI segmentation model entirely in your browser. WASM allows near-native performance for computationally intensive tasks that would otherwise require a server.
Web Workers
Used to run processing tasks on a background thread, keeping the interface responsive while heavy operations are in progress.
Screen Capture API
Used by the Screen Recorder to capture your screen or webcam stream directly in the browser, encoded and saved locally via the MediaRecorder API.
File System Access API
Used where available to let you save files directly to a location you choose, rather than forcing everything through the Downloads folder.
Processing time depends on the file, browser, and device. The page may also load analytics, advertising, content, fonts, or browser-side libraries. The image tools are designed to process selected images locally rather than sending them to our application server.
What we stand for
Privacy by default
Where supported, image processing happens inside your browser using the Canvas API, WebAssembly, and Web Workers. The tool pages explain how each feature handles files and browser resources.
Speed without trade-offs
Processing time depends on the tool, file size, browser, and device. The pages explain the controls before you begin.
Genuinely free
No paywalls, no watermarks, no feature limits hidden behind a subscription. Every tool is fully free, with no account required to use any feature.
Works everywhere
Built with responsive design from the ground up. Every tool works on desktop, tablet, and mobile — on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

How PixelsTools is funded
PixelsTools is and will always be free. The site may be supported by display advertising from Google AdSense. When advertising is active, ads appear on certain pages and are clearly distinguishable from content.
We do not sell user data. We do not use affiliate links. We do not accept sponsored content or paid placements. The tools are not paywalled, watermarked, or limited in any way to push you toward a paid plan — because there is no paid plan.
The advertising model means the more people find the tools useful, the more the site can sustain itself. That creates a simple, honest incentive: make tools people actually want to use.
Frequently asked questions
Do you store or collect my images?
No. Every tool on PixelsTools runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed locally using browser APIs and are never transmitted to any server. We have no access to any image you process.
Is PixelsTools really free?
Yes, completely. The site is supported by non-intrusive display advertising. There are no premium plans, no watermarks, no usage limits, and no features locked behind a paywall.
What browsers are supported?
All modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Opera. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox. Internet Explorer is not supported.
Can I use these tools on my phone?
Yes. Every tool is fully responsive and tested on Android (Chrome) and iOS (Safari). File selection, processing, and downloading all work on mobile devices.
How is PixelsTools different from other online tools?
Most online image tools upload your file to a remote server, process it there, and return a result. That means your photos pass through infrastructure you do not control. PixelsTools eliminates that step entirely — processing happens on your device, making it faster, more private, and usable even with a poor internet connection.
