Hey Product Hunt! š
I'm Aashish, the builder behind PixlTools ā and here's the honest story of why I built this.
I kept running into the same frustration: every time I needed to compress an image, convert a PNG to WEBP, or resize something for Instagram ā I'd end up on a site covered in ads, paywalls, or "sign up to download your result." For something as simple as resizing a photo.
So I built the tool I actually wanted to use.
What makes PixlTools different:
ā” Server-side processing with Sharp (the same library Netflix and Canva use) ā not slow browser-based Canvas hacks
š Zero data retention ā your images are processed and deleted immediately. Nothing is stored, ever.
š« No signup, no watermarks, no limits ā you upload, you download, done
š 30+ tools in one place ā compress, resize, crop, convert, background remove, upscale, watermark, flip, and more
It's completely free because I believe basic image tools shouldn't be locked behind accounts or subscriptions. I cover the costs through non-intrusive ads (pending AdSense approval š¤).
Built with: Next.js, Sharp, TypeScript, deployed on Vercel
I'd love your honest feedback ā what tool is missing? What's broken? What would make this your go-to?
