03Why PixelForge
Built like software, not a file converter.
Private by design
Most online editors upload your photos to a server first. PixelForge never does — every pixel is processed locally by the Canvas API. Open your network tab and watch: zero bytes leave.
Instant by default
No network round-trip — editing starts the moment you drop a file.

Free, actually
No account, no watermark, no premium tier. The whole editor, unlimited.

Works everywhere you do
Any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. Nothing to install or update — the editor is always one tab away.
04Batch
One image is never enough.
Point the batch processor at a whole folder. Resize, compress and convert everything in one pass, then download it all as a single zip.
- Resize entire folders with max-width and max-height rules
- Compress and convert to PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, ICO or PDF
- Everything comes back as one zip — nothing touches a server

06FAQ
Questions, answered.
What people usually ask before trusting a browser tab with their photos.
Really. All processing happens with the Canvas API inside your browser tab. Open your browser's network inspector and watch: zero bytes of image data are ever sent anywhere.
Ready when you are
Your next edit is one drop away.
No signup, no install, no upload. Open the editor and drop in an image.
