PixelPress image optimisation for WebP and AVIF
PixelPress WebP and AVIF image converter for JPG and PNG assets across Windows and Linux
Convert JPG, PNG and WebP into compact WebP or AVIF website images on your own device. PixelPress is available for Windows via the Microsoft Store and as a free Debian release for Linux on GitHub.

Product concept
Smaller website images without uploading files to a server
PixelPress keeps the image optimisation loop on your own machine: use the Windows app or the free Linux Debian release, choose your output format, convert the batch, and publish lighter assets on your website.
Highlights
Designed for rapid batch image optimisation before publishing
Use PixelPress when image size, page speed, and a private local workflow are more important than another browser upload tool.
Local image converter
Drop files or folders, hit convert, and keep all files on your PC. PixelPress requires no cloud upload or download.
WebP and AVIF for web pages
Generate modern image formats for quicker pages, smaller files, and greater control before publishing a landing page, blog post, or product site.
Optional Windows Pro, free Linux release
Begin with the free Microsoft Store app on Windows. The Debian release for Linux remains free, and Windows Pro adds larger batches plus AVIF output for £8.66.
Workflow
From large source folders to optimised web assets
- 1
Add image files
Drop single files or entire source folders into PixelPress.
- 2
Select output
Select WebP or AVIF, adjust quality, and keep the output folder visible.
- 3
Process locally
Run the batch and obtain optimised files ready for your website build or CMS upload.
Why it helps
The entire conversion remains close to your project files
PixelPress is built for repeated website asset tasks: test quality settings, compare savings, and continue working without uploading private images to third-party optimisers.
Use cases
