Using the ReadyPixl Chrome extension

The ReadyPixl Chrome extension lets you use ReadyPixl on images from almost any website.

It is built for people who collect images from places like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, Ideogram, Google Images, Freepik, stock sites, or supplier pages.

What the extension does

The extension adds ReadyPixl as a side panel in Chrome.

When the side panel is open, ReadyPixl can show a + button on images on the page. Click + to send that image into the extension editor.

From there, you can:

• Add images from the page.
• Drop in images from your computer.
• Build a pipeline.
• Save and load presets.
• Process one image or a batch.
• Download finished images.
• Continue the same batch in the web version.

Sign in first

The extension asks you to sign in with ReadyPixl.

Sign-in matters because it lets the extension:

• Sync your presets.
• Save your extension preferences.
• Check your download limit.
• Use the same account as the web version.

If you do not have an account yet, use the Create one free link in the sign-in screen.

Add an image from a website

1. Open a page with images.
2. Click the ReadyPixl extension icon.
3. Sign in if asked.
4. Click the + button on the image you want.
5. The image appears in the ReadyPixl side panel.

You can add several images before processing.

Build a pipeline in the side panel

1. Pick tools from the tool row.
2. Adjust the settings in the Selected Tools panel.
3. Preview the image on the canvas.
4. Use the image row at the bottom to switch between images.
5. Open Export Settings to pick format, compression, filename style, DPI, and auto-download.

The extension uses the same core ReadyPixl tools as the web version. Some tools may be hidden if they only work in the desktop app.

Use presets

Presets are saved pipelines.

Use them when you run the same edits often.

1. Build your pipeline.
2. Click + Save in the presets area.
3. Name the preset.
4. Load it later from the preset list.

Presets are shared with your account: a preset you save here appears in the web version and desktop app within seconds, and presets you already built there are already in this list. See Presets.

Use Auto DL

Auto DL means ReadyPixl downloads the image after it finishes processing.

Use it when you want a faster one-click pattern:

1. Turn on Auto DL in the bottom export row.
2. Pick your tools and settings.
3. Click + on an image on the page.
4. ReadyPixl processes it and downloads the result.

If you turn on Auto DL, auto-processing turns on too.

Move the + button, pick a download folder

• Move the + button to any corner (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) in the extension settings. Some sites put their own buttons in a corner — for example Ideogram's share button sits top right — so move the + out of the way.
• On big canvas-style apps the + can drift off the image; click anywhere on the page and it snaps back.
• Pick a download subfolder. Downloads go into a readypixl folder inside your Downloads folder by default; you can change the name.
• When you download several images at once, Chrome may ask whether ReadyPixl can download multiple files — always say yes.

Edit while you generate

The side panel is the whole web app. Load a preset (for example "clean + square" or "frame distress"), turn on Auto download, then click + on each image as your AI tool generates it. Every image downloads already edited — upscaled, repositioned, cleaned — before it ever needs a second step. Without Auto download, use Process all / Download all, or click an image and download it.

Just need an image downloader? With no tools in the pipeline and Auto download on, + simply downloads the image.

Continue in the web version

Use Continue in Web App when the batch needs more room.

That button sends your current images, active tools, settings, preset, canvas state, and export settings into the ReadyPixl web editor.

This is useful when:

• The side panel feels too small.
• You added a big batch.
• You want the full editor layout.
• You want to finish on another screen.

Download limits

The extension has its own download limit.

The limit resets each day. If the extension says your daily limit is reached, wait until tomorrow or upgrade for unlimited extension downloads.

The web version has a separate free limit. The desktop app is separate too.

Privacy

The extension needs access to websites so it can find images you choose to edit.

Your images are processed on your device. The extension stores your sign-in state, preferences, presets, and side panel state in Chrome extension storage.
