Image tools that never see your images.
Pixnify is being built to compress, convert and resize pictures directly in your browser, with no account and no upload. The site is live and the tools are on their way: none is available yet.
What the tools will promise
- Opened on your device
- A picture you choose is read by your own browser and worked on there. It is not sent to a server, so there is nothing to wait for and nothing to delete afterwards.
- Honest about formats
- A tool will offer a format only when the browser can really produce it. If a browser cannot write AVIF, the tool will say so instead of pretending.
- Numbers you can check
- Every result will show the file size before and after, the dimensions and the saving, so you can judge the trade between size and quality yourself.
Why work in the browser
Many image tools ask you to upload a file, process it on their server and download the result. That is easy to build, but it means a copy of your picture sits on someone else's machine, a slow connection makes every change a wait, and the service has to cap file sizes to pay for the traffic.
Modern browsers can decode, redraw and encode pictures themselves. Doing the work there keeps the picture on your device and removes the round trip. It also has limits that an honest tool should state: it uses your own memory and processor, and browsers differ in which formats they can write.
Where things stand
The site, its pages and its privacy policy are in place. The tools are not. That is why this page says so instead of showing a button that does nothing. When the first tool is ready it will get its own page with a guide, an example and answers to common questions, and it will be added to the list of tools on this page.
Meanwhile, read how the site treats your data in the privacy policy, or tell us which tool you need first through the contact page.
Questions
Can I use Pixnify to compress or convert images today?
Not yet. The site is live, but the tools are still being built, and this page lists them as planned. Nothing here compresses, converts or resizes a picture at the moment.
Will my pictures be uploaded?
The tools are being designed so that they are not. They will open and process your files in the browser, which is why Pixnify needs no account and no server step. The privacy policy says what is true today, and will say what each tool does when it is added.
Will it be free?
Yes. Pixnify is meant to be free to use without registration, and it may be supported by labelled advertising that is kept away from upload and download controls.
Why process images in the browser at all?
Because a picture is often private, and because a server adds waiting time and size limits. The price is that the work uses your own device's memory and speed, so very large pictures can be slow on a phone, and the tools will say when a file is too large to open safely.
