ReadyPixl is a free tool that edits hundreds of images at once.

You drop in a folder of images. You pick what you want done — like remove the background, or make them all the same size. You click one button. ReadyPixl does the work on every image at the same time. A few minutes later, you download a zip with everything finished.

It works right in your web browser. No installing. No account needed.

Who uses it

People who edit a lot of images the same way, over and over, like:

People who use AI to make images — ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, Ideogram — and need to clean them up before using them.
Online sellers (Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, print-on-demand) who need product images and designs to come out clean and the same size.
Designers, marketers, and content creators prepping graphics for websites, social media, and digital downloads.
Photographers and anyone with a folder of photos that need resizing, compressing, watermarking, or adjusting.
Anyone who's ever opened Photoshop, done the same five edits to one image, and thought "I have 200 more of these."

If that sounds like you, ReadyPixl was built for you.

What it costs

The web version is free, forever. Not a free trial. Not "free until you actually use it." Free.

You can use it without signing up — you'll just be capped at 10 downloads per day. Sign up free (only takes an email) to bump that to 100 per day.

Optional extras — all one-time payments, no subscriptions:

Chrome extension — adds a ReadyPixl + button to images on other websites like ChatGPT, Gemini, and stock image sites. Free with a free account (10 downloads a day); Pro ($29 launch / $49, one-time) removes the web and extension download caps.
Desktop app ($49 launch / $89, one-time, 7-day free trial) — same ReadyPixl as an app for Mac and Windows, plus overwrite-in-place, right-click actions, a stronger free upscaler (up to 8x), and a CLI for AI agents.

Most people stick with the free web version forever. That's by design.

Your images stay on your computer

When you use ReadyPixl in your browser, your images never get sent to our servers. All the editing happens right inside your browser, on your own computer. We never see what you're working on. We don't want to.

The one exception is two paid AI tools (AI Background Removal and AI Upscale). Those call outside AI services, so using them does send the image out. They're clearly labeled, sign-in required, and they cost credits to use. Everything else stays on your computer.

What you can do today (all free)

You can use any tool by itself on one image. Or combine them in any order to edit a whole folder at once. That combination is called a pipeline — explained in the next article.

Paid AI tools (use credits)

Two AI tools are paid because they call outside AI services that cost real money:

AI Background Removal — the real background remover, for images whose background isn't one solid color your design avoids. Recraft AI (15 credits per image) or Ideogram (20 credits). With Recraft, 15 credits per image (about 1.5¢ each at 1,000 credits per $1).
AI Upscale — makes small images bigger without making them blurry. Pick 2x, 4x, or 8x. 10 credits per image (about 1¢ each).
