Product idea

Smaller website images without sending files to a server

PixelPress keeps website image optimization local: add files or folders, choose WebP and AVIF output, keep source images untouched, and publish lighter assets without sending client or product images to a browser service.

No upload Originals untouched WebP and AVIF output Windows and Linux

Features

Built for fast batch image optimization before publishing

Use PixelPress when image size, page speed, and a private local workflow matter more than another browser upload tool.

01

Local batch image optimizer

Compress website folders on your own machine. PixelPress reads JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF sources without sending private images to a cloud service.

02

WebP and AVIF for websites

Create modern output formats for faster pages, smaller assets, and better publishing control before a landing page, blog post, or product site ships.

03

Originals stay untouched

Optimized copies are written into an output folder while source images stay where they are, so your original files remain the source of truth.

04

Fresh or replaceable output folders

Create a fresh output folder for every run, or reuse a PixelPress-created output folder when repeated batches should stay tidy.

05

Resize large images for the web

Optionally scale images wider than 1920 pixels down for practical web output while preserving aspect ratio and leaving smaller images alone.

06

Windows Store plus free Linux release

Start free on Windows through the Microsoft Store, unlock Pro for larger Windows batches and AVIF output for $11.69, or use the free Ubuntu/Debian release from GitHub.

Flow

From heavy source folder to optimized web assets

  1. 1

    Add images

    On Windows, drag files or folders into PixelPress or use the pickers. On Linux, choose files or folders with the in-app picker buttons.

  2. 2

    Choose output

    Select WebP, AVIF, or both, set quality, choose a separate output folder, and decide whether each run gets a fresh folder.

  3. 3

    Convert locally

    Run the batch, watch progress, then open the output folder to review generated files, size savings, and conversion duration.

Why it is practical

The whole conversion stays close to your project files

PixelPress is designed for repeated website asset work: adjust quality, resize very wide images when useful, compare savings, and keep working without uploading private source images to a third-party optimizer.

Private by default Images stay on your machine, which is useful for client assets, unreleased product shots, and local drafts.
Built for repeated batches Fresh run folders keep previous results available, while replace mode can reuse a PixelPress-created output folder for the same input.
Website-focused formats WebP is the broad compatibility choice, and AVIF is available when your platform, runtime, and plan support it.
No account flow Install from the Microsoft Store or download the Ubuntu/Debian release from GitHub, then start converting without registration, tokens, or a browser upload step.
