PixStrip
Batch done, beautifully.
Resize, convert, compress, strip metadata, watermark, and rename - all in one wizard. Drop your images, pick a preset or build your own pipeline, and let PixStrip handle the rest.
Philosophy
Image processing for people who have better things to do.
PixStrip handles the tedious work so you can focus on creating. Seven operations, one wizard, zero friction. Everything stays on your machine.
Simple by design
A step-by-step wizard guides every operation. Pick a preset and go, or customize every detail. No learning curve, no manual required.
Seven tools in one
Resize, adjust, convert, compress, strip metadata, watermark, and rename. One pipeline handles what used to take seven different apps.
Your files stay local
No cloud uploads, no accounts, no telemetry. PixStrip processes everything on your machine and never phones home.
Truly free forever
CC0 licensed. No subscriptions, no premium tier, no strings. The code is yours to keep, modify, and share.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Start in seconds.
Eight built-in presets for blog photos, social media, web optimization, email, print, and more. Create your own presets, export as JSON, and share with anyone.
Fine-tune every image.
Brightness, contrast, saturation, rotation, aspect ratio cropping, and whitespace trimming. Grayscale, sepia, and sharpen effects.
Any format, any direction.
Convert between JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, and BMP. Format mapping lets you set different outputs per input type.
Resize with precision.
Five resize modes including fit, fill, exact dimensions, and percentage scaling. Social media presets for Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Lemmy built right in.
Squeeze every byte.
Quality preview with a before/after comparison slider. mozjpeg, oxipng, libwebp, and ravif encoders deliver up to 77% file size reduction.
Strip what you choose.
Five metadata modes from complete stripping to custom category selection. GPS, camera info, software, timestamps, and copyright - you decide what stays.
Brand your images.
Text or image watermarks with tiling, rotation, opacity, and position controls. Preview the result before processing.
Name them your way.
Prefix, suffix, case conversion, sequential counters. Template engine with regex and EXIF variable expansion for advanced renaming.
Script it.
Full command-line interface with preset support and identical processing quality. Pipe it into your build scripts and automation.
Watch and process.
Monitor folders for new images and process them automatically. Set it up once and let PixStrip handle incoming files.
Right-click, process.
File manager integration for Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, and Dolphin. Select images, right-click, and process with PixStrip.
See before you commit.
Quality comparison slider shows before and after side by side. Adjust compression until you find the sweet spot.
Keyboard everything.
Full keyboard navigation through every wizard step. Alt+arrow keys, Ctrl+Enter to process, and step-jumping shortcuts.
Track your batches.
Processing history shows recent jobs with file counts, space saved, and processing time. Reuse settings from any previous batch.
Zero cloud. Zero catch.
Everything runs on your machine in userspace. No network required, no background services, no daemons. Just an AppImage.
See it in action.
Three steps to clarity.
Pick
Choose a built-in preset or select Custom to build your own pipeline. Presets auto-configure everything - just add images.
Tweak
Walk through the wizard step by step. Resize, adjust, convert, compress, strip metadata, watermark, rename - enable what you need.
Process
Hit Process and watch it fly. PixStrip handles the batch, shows you the results, and offers to save your workflow as a preset.
Solid foundations.
A Rust backend with production-grade encoders. GTK4 and libadwaita for a native Linux interface. Everything runs locally in userspace.
Less clicking. More creating.
Batch image processing should be simple, fast, and private. PixStrip handles the rest.
