Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know about privacy, formats and features.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Every operation — cropping, resizing, converting, compressing and more — runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API and Web Workers. Your images never leave your device, which is why the tool works offline once loaded.
Is it really free?
Yes, the editor is completely free with no sign-up. It is supported by unobtrusive ads, which is why you may see a consent banner in some regions.
Which image formats are supported?
You can open PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP files, and export to PNG, JPG, WebP or AVIF. AVIF export depends on your browser supporting AVIF encoding.
How do I make an image smaller in file size?
Open the Export tab, choose WebP or JPG, and lower the quality slider while watching the live file-size estimate. WebP and AVIF usually produce the smallest files at the same visual quality.
Does the editor remove EXIF and GPS metadata?
Yes. Because every export is re-encoded through the Canvas API, EXIF, GPS and other metadata are stripped automatically. You can also view metadata and download a clean copy from the Info tab.
Can I edit several images at once?
Yes. Add multiple images, switch between them in the thumbnail strip, and use “Download all (ZIP)” to export the batch as a single archive.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Pixbench runs in any modern web browser. You can also install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for an app-like experience and offline use.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the editor works without an internet connection because all processing happens locally on your device.
Is there a watermark on my exported images?
No. Exports are clean. There is an optional watermark feature you can enable yourself for branding, but nothing is added automatically.
