High-Performance Desktop Image Optimization and Tooling
pixelImage is a lightning-fast, privacy-first desktop application built for developers, designers, and content creators. It provides a comprehensive suite of image processing tools running entirely on your local machine—no internet required.
Built with Tauri v2 and React, it offers near-native performance while maintaining a beautiful, intuitive user interface.

- Batch Processor: Process hundreds of images simultaneously. Resize, compress, and convert formats with a single click.
- Format Converter: Seamlessly convert images between modern and legacy formats (WebP, AVIF, PNG, JPEG, SVG).
- Image Compressor: Reduce file sizes drastically without noticeable quality loss using advanced compression algorithms.
- Image Resizer: Accurately scale images while preserving aspect ratios or enforcing exact dimensions.
- Web Icons Generator: Automatically generate
favicon.ico, Apple Touch icons, Android icons, and Microsoft tile icons from a single source image, complete with the necessary HTML meta tags. - Smart Scaler: Intelligently upsample images while minimizing artifacts.
- Image Scraper: Extract all images from any public webpage/URL efficiently.

- History Logs: Keep track of all previously processed files, success rates, and export locations.
