Privacy & Getting Started
PixelFix Pro does not send the image or PDF you choose to an image-processing server. The file is decoded and edited in browser memory. The webpage can still request fonts, consented analytics, ads, and uncached tool code; those requests do not include your selected file.
The selected file stays in your browser instead of being uploaded to PixelFix Pro for processing. You should still use a trusted, updated device, check the downloaded result, and remove EXIF metadata when location or camera details matter.
No account is required. Just open the page, drop in your image, and start editing. No email, no password, no sign-up wall.
Yes. The editing tools do not require payment or an account. Practical safeguards still apply: the Batch Editor accepts up to 50 files and skips individual files over 20 MB, while very large dimensions can exceed a device's available memory.
PixelFix Pro is tested in current Chromium and Firefox browsers. It also requires modern Canvas, OffscreenCanvas, ImageBitmap, and download APIs, so older browsers may not complete every workflow. Keep the browser updated and use a desktop for large batches or PDFs.
Compress & Reduce File Size
Click the Smart Compress button in the Quick Fixes panel. Move the target size slider to 2.0 MB, then click Compress. The tool re-encodes your image as JPEG at decreasing quality levels until the file is under your target — typically in just a few seconds.
Set Smart Compress to 0.1 MB for roughly 100 KB or 0.5 MB for roughly 500 KB, then run it. The editor searches several JPEG quality levels and keeps the best result it finds at or below the selected limit.
Lossless size reduction is not always possible. Smart Compress tests multiple JPEG quality levels to preserve as much detail as it can under the selected limit. Resizing to the dimensions the destination actually needs often protects quality better than compressing a full-resolution photo.
Smart Compress reduces file size by adjusting JPEG quality — it does not change pixel dimensions. If you also want to make the image physically smaller (e.g., 1080px wide), use the Resize tool first, then compress.
JPEG compression discards image data, and if the target size is very small relative to the original dimensions, some quality loss is unavoidable. For documents and ID photos, resize to the exact pixel dimensions required first, then compress. For photos, try reducing dimensions by 20–30% before compressing.
Convert HEIC & Formats
iPhone photos default to HEIC format. Simply drag your HEIC file onto PixelFix Pro or click browse and select it. The tool converts it to JPEG automatically on load — no server upload, no iTunes, no extra apps needed.
HEIC to JPEG is a lossy conversion. PixelFix uses a locally bundled converter and a 92% JPEG quality setting, which is usually suitable for everyday viewing. Keep the original HEIC for archival work or when HDR and colour fidelity matter.
Yes. Load your PNG image, then in the Export & Download section select 'WebP — Smallest size' from the format dropdown before downloading. Compare the downloaded sizes and inspect edges and transparency; savings depend on the image and encoding settings.
You can load JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, BMP, GIF, and TIFF. For download, you can export to JPEG, PNG, or WebP. iPhone HEIC photos convert to JPEG automatically.
Yes. The Batch Editor accepts up to 50 HEIC or HEIF files, converts them locally, and packages successful JPEG results into one ZIP. Test a small batch first on memory-constrained devices.
Resize & Platform Presets
Select 'Instagram Square Feed (1080×1080)' from the Resize & Smart Presets dropdown. The width and height fields auto-fill to 1080×1080, and the aspect lock ensures your image won't stretch. Click Resize, then download.
Stories and TikTok videos use a 9:16 vertical format. Select 'Instagram / TikTok Story (1080×1920)' from the preset dropdown. For Instagram portrait posts, use 1080×1350 (4:5 ratio) for maximum feed real estate.
Marketplace rules can change by category and region. Treat the Amazon presets as editable starting dimensions, then verify the current image requirements in your Seller Central documentation before processing a catalogue.
Select 'US Passport Print (600×600 @ 2×2 in)' from the ID & Passport Photos preset group. Then use the crop tool with a 1:1 aspect ratio to frame the head correctly. The final image is exactly 600×600 pixels at 300 DPI when printed at 2×2 inches.
Click Draw Crop, then select the desired ratio from the Crop & Transform dropdown (1:1 Square or 16:9 Widescreen). The crop box constrains to that ratio automatically. Drag the corners to adjust size, then click Apply.
Use the dimensions and framing rules shown by the specific US government form you are submitting. Visa, passport, and USCIS workflows are not interchangeable. The passport guide links to official sources and the editor presets remain editable.
Editing Tools
Type your watermark text in the Watermark field (e.g., '© Your Name 2026'), pick a position (bottom-right is standard), adjust opacity with the slider, then click Add Watermark. The text is rendered directly onto the image and included in the download.
Use the rotate buttons for 90° clockwise or counterclockwise, or the Flip H / Flip V buttons for mirror effects. These are in the Crop & Transform section. All transforms are non-destructive until you apply them.
Yes. Copy any image (screenshot, photo from another site, etc.) and press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) anywhere on the page. It loads directly into the editor without needing to save the file first.
Click the 'Before / After' button in the canvas toolbar. A vertical divider appears — drag it left and right to compare your original image against the edited version in real time. Exit comparison mode by clicking the Exit button or toggling Before/After off.
Yes. PixelFix Pro saves up to 20 history snapshots. Use the Undo and Redo buttons in the toolbar, or press Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Y to redo. You can also click Reset to return to the original image at any time.
The brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue sliders preview live using fast CSS filters so you can experiment instantly. To make the change permanent and included in the download, click 'Apply Changes' after adjusting the sliders. (The Download button also automatically bakes in any unapplied preview.)
Technical & Limits
Limits vary by tool and device. The Batch Editor accepts 50 files and skips individual files over 20 MB. The single-image editor warns about large inputs, and every tool can run out of browser memory with very large pixel dimensions or long PDFs.
Sharpening, blur, and other pixel-level effects examine millions of pixels on a large photo. Processing time depends on dimensions, browser, and device memory. Resize first when the destination does not need the full original resolution.
Yes. The editor is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, and tablets. Touch gestures are supported for crop drawing. Use Chrome or Safari (latest version) for the best experience, and keep the tab active while processing large images.
Smart Compress re-encodes the working image at several JPEG quality levels and keeps the best candidate it finds at or below the selected size. If even a very low-quality full-resolution JPEG is too large, it also reduces dimensions and reports that change in the status message.
Yes — the Batch Editor handles this. Drop in multiple images, set your resize, format, quality, and watermark options once, and apply them to every file at the same time. Download all results together as a ZIP.
