PixForge is a production-grade image processing API: one endpoint that resizes, converts, compresses, and watermarks any image, with the caching, rate limiting, and uptime you'd otherwise have to build yourself. It runs on libvips (via sharp), so it's fast and memory-efficient even on large images. This free tool is the same engine, so the output you see here is identical to what your code receives.
How it works
Give PixForge a public image URL (or base64 from your own code) plus the transforms you want. It applies them in a predictable pipeline — orient, resize, recolor, watermark — then encodes to your chosen format and caches the result on a CDN. This tool wraps a single GET /image request, so everything here is available from your own code.
What it can do
- Resize and crop with
cover,contain,fill,inside, oroutsidefit - Convert between WebP, AVIF, JPEG, and PNG with quality control
- Compress for the web and strip EXIF metadata by default
- Grayscale, tint, blur, rotate, and flip
- Overlay a text or image watermark with adjustable position and opacity
Use cases
- Generate responsive thumbnails and WebP/AVIF variants for the web
- Shrink user uploads before storage to cut bandwidth and cost
- Watermark product or stock images automatically
- Normalize and re-encode images coming out of AI image generators
FAQ
- Is the image tool free?
- Yes — free to use, no signup. The PixForge API behind it has a free tier of 50 transforms/month; paid plans start at $5/mo for 1,000 and scale to 60,000.
- Which formats can it output?
- WebP, AVIF, JPEG, and PNG. Omit
formatto keep the source format while still resizing/compressing. - Can I send my own image bytes?
- Yes.
POST /imageaccepts{ "image": "<base64>" }in addition to aurl. - Is EXIF/location data removed?
- Yes — metadata is stripped by default. Pass
stripMetadata=falseto keep it.
