Built for privacy.
Built for speed.
Built to stay free.
PixelsTools is a free collection of browser-based image and design tools built for designers, developers, content creators, and anyone who works with images daily. Every tool runs entirely on your device — no uploads, no accounts, no data collection.
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, that process is completely unnecessary. 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. Every tool here does its work inside your browser, on your machine, without your file ever leaving your device. The result is a set of tools that are faster than server-based alternatives, completely private by design, and free to use with no restrictions.
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.
The practical result: your files are processed in milliseconds to seconds, depending on size. There is no upload progress bar, no server queue, and no waiting. And because nothing is transmitted, tools work correctly even on an unstable internet connection — the only network request is loading the page itself.
What we stand for
Privacy by default
Every tool processes files inside your browser using the Canvas API, WebAssembly, and Web Workers. Your images never leave your device — not even for a second.
Speed without trade-offs
No upload queues. No server wait times. Processing starts the moment you select a file, and results are ready in seconds — even on large, high-resolution images.
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 is supported by display advertising served by Google AdSense. 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.
Who built PixelsTools?
PixelsTools was built by a small independent team of developers passionate about privacy-first web tooling. We built this because we were frustrated with tools that treated a simple image resize as an excuse to collect your data.
