What ReadyPixl costs

Free web version, Pro, Chrome extension, desktop app, and credits — what you get with each and which one is right for you.

Markdown All docs for AI

ReadyPixl has a free web version, a one-time Pro upgrade, and a one-time desktop app. Nothing is a subscription and nothing auto-renews. Most people can start with the free web version and upgrade only when they need more downloads or desktop-only features.

The free web version — forever

The web version at readypixl.com is free, forever. Every tool, the full pipeline, batch processing — all free.

What "free" means here: free. Not a free trial. Not "free until you actually use it." Just free. The web version is the main product.

What you can do with it right now (all free):

Remove colors (Color Removal V2), including solid-color backgrounds
Resize images
Cut off empty edges (Trim)
Put an image on a custom-sized canvas (Reposition)
Put your subject on a colored background (Canvas Fill)
Rotate, flip, or erase corners
Clean up tiny stray pixels
Adjust brightness, contrast, color
Apply filters and grunge effects
Add decorative borders
Add text or image watermarks

The web version also includes a free Upscaler that runs on your own computer (in your browser). It's free, but a slow computer can struggle or crash on large batches.

Paid AI tools (use credits):

AI Background Removal — for images where the regular background remover isn't good enough. 15 credits per image with Recraft AI (~1.5¢), or 20 credits with Ideogram (~2¢).
AI Upscale — runs on our servers instead of your computer, and adds an 8x option. 10 credits per image (~1¢).

Both call outside AI services, which is why they cost credits. Credits are $1 per 1,000 credits — for example, $5 buys 5,000 credits (about 330 AI background removals or 500 AI upscales). You can buy any amount from $5 to $500, with one-click packs of $20, $30, $50 and $100. Credits are a one-time top-up and never renew. Sign in to use these. The free tools handle most jobs without needing either one.

Pro — one-time, lifetime

Pro is for people who use ReadyPixl often and want unlimited downloads.

$29 launch price while the launch offer is active, $49 regular price — USD, one-time payment, lifetime access. The launch price is applied automatically at checkout; no coupon needed.
Unlimited web-version downloads.
Unlimited Chrome extension downloads.
Priority support.

Pro does not include credits: the AI tools stay pay-per-use because they call outside services. (Pro used to be a monthly subscription. It was retired: everyone with an active subscription was upgraded to lifetime Pro for free, and their remaining monthly bonus credits became permanent credits.)

Chrome extension — included with your account

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

The extension adds a + button to images on sites like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, Ideogram, Google Images, and stock image sites. One click sends the image into a ReadyPixl side panel.

Extension download limits:

Account	Extension downloads
Free account	10 images per day
Pro	Unlimited

Who it's for: people who work inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, Ideogram, or stock image sites a lot.

Desktop app — paid

The desktop app is ReadyPixl packaged as a native app for Windows and macOS. Same pipeline idea, with desktop-only power.

The headline feature: a stronger free local upscaler. The desktop Upscaler (free) runs on your computer with no per-image credit cost, and its Extra High tier goes up to 8x (on the web, 8x is only in the paid AI Upscale).

Other niceties:

7-day free trial with no credit card
One-time purchase after the trial — no refunds after purchase, so use the trial to try everything
$89 regular price
$49 launch price while the launch offer is active (applied automatically at checkout)
1 year of free updates included; after that your installed version keeps working
Works offline for 7 days after the last online license check
Windows Explorer / macOS Finder right-click actions
CLI / Automation tools for heavier batch work

Who it's for: people who'll upscale a lot (local upscaling beats paying credits per image), people who prefer apps to browser tabs, or anyone working offline.
