Why We Built Pixkit

It started when I needed to resize a personal photo. I used a free online tool, only to realize my file was being uploaded to their server. It felt uncomfortable knowing my photos could be stored somewhere I couldn't control. So I decided to build a tool that processes everything inside the browser. No server uploads, no installation, completely free. That's how Pixkit was born.

Our Expertise and Philosophy

Positioned as a specialized browser-based image processing tool

Browser-Based Image Processing

Pixkit specializes in image processing that runs entirely inside the browser. We use the HTML5 Canvas API for pixel-level operations, WebAssembly to decode native formats like HEIC, and ONNX Runtime to run deep learning segmentation models for AI background removal — all client-side. Professional-grade image editing without a server is possible precisely because of this technology combination.

Service Philosophy

User privacy comes first. Image files are never transmitted to any external server; all computation is completed inside the user's browser. This principle applies without exception to every feature, and even our monetization model (advertising) is constrained by it. Eliminating the discomfort of "it's free, but my photos end up on someone's server" — that's why Pixkit exists.

Technology Stack

Next.js 16 with React 19 as the frontend, next-intl for multilingual routing, Canvas API for image manipulation, jsPDF and PDF.js for PDF I/O, @imgly/background-removal for in-browser AI background removal, exifr for EXIF metadata handling, qrcode.js for QR generation — all operating client-side.

Built on Open Source

Pixkit is built on a trusted open-source ecosystem. We use battle-tested libraries like Mozilla's PDF.js, jsPDF, Transformers.js-powered @imgly/background-removal, exifr, and qrcode.js — libraries vetted by tens of thousands of developers. We track security updates for each dependency to keep everything current.

Multilingual Support

Pixkit is available in Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, French, and Spanish — six languages. We aim for proper localization that reflects each region's usage context and terminology, not simple translation. Every tool, every blog guide, and every legal page is provided in all six languages.

Continuous Improvement

We review tool functionality weekly and incorporate user feedback. Over the past two months we have iterated from v1.0 to v1.4, shipped 12 tools, and expanded the service to 6 languages. We will continue to evolve alongside advances in browser technology, solving more image processing tasks without servers.
