Why Pixly exists
Hi, I'm Saboor Tahir, the founder and developer of Pixly. I built this tool after spending years frustrated by online converters that upload your private photos to unknown servers, hide behind paywalls, or bury the download button under five layers of ads.
Pixly does one thing and does it well — convert JPG images to PNG, instantly, inside your browser. There is no server processing. There is no account. There is no upload. The conversion happens locally on your device using the HTML5 canvas API, which means even the largest photo never leaves your computer.
Our mission
The web should respect the people who use it. Our mission is to build small, focused, beautifully crafted tools that treat your data with the same care you would. We believe utility software can be both fast and ethical — and that you shouldn't have to trade your privacy for convenience.
What makes Pixly different
- Zero uploads. Everything runs client-side. We literally cannot see your files.
- Lossless quality. PNG is a lossless format, and our converter preserves every pixel at original resolution.
- No sign up, no limits. Convert as many images as you need, whenever you need.
- Designed with care. Smooth animations, dark mode, and a glassmorphism aesthetic make even a utility feel premium.
- Mobile-first. Works just as well on your phone as it does on your laptop.
Who I am
I'm a self-taught developer who loves clean interfaces and the open web. When I'm not building Pixly I write about web performance, design systems, and ethical product design over on the Pixly blog. If you'd like to get in touch, suggest a feature, or report a bug, the contact page is the fastest way to reach me.
What's next
Pixly started with JPG → PNG, but the roadmap is wide open: PNG → JPG, WebP support, batch conversion, image compression, and a small set of privacy-respecting editing tools are all on the way. Subscribe to the blog or follow along to stay in the loop.
