About PixelKit
A small studio-style toolkit for the everyday image jobs that sit between taking a photo and publishing it.
What this is
PixelKit gathers eight focused tools for designers, content creators and online sellers: an image compressor with a target-size mode, a resizer with ecommerce and social presets, a cropper with ratio locks, a format converter, an aspect ratio calculator, a palette extractor, a WCAG contrast checker and a favicon / Base64 generator.
How it is built
The site is a set of static pages. Every tool uses your browser's built-in image decoding and the HTML canvas, so files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded. The maths behind each tool — binary search for target sizes, resize planning, crop clamping, colour conversions, median cut and k-means clustering, WCAG luminance, ZIP and ICO packing — lives in small, separately tested modules. The tests check results against hand-worked examples and published reference values, such as the 21:1 contrast of black on white and the standard CRC-32 check value.
Each tool page explains its method, shows a worked example and lists its limitations, so you can judge whether the result fits your needs.
Who we are
PixelKit is designed and developed by the Technical Design Team, an independent web development team based in Iraq. We build websites for a living, which means we prepare a great many images: hero photos that must stay sharp without slowing a page down, product shots in a dozen marketplace sizes, palettes pulled from a client's photography, favicons for every platform.
PixelKit is the toolkit we wanted for that work. It is a static Next.js application with no upload endpoint; all pixel work happens on your device through the canvas API. We favour predictable, explainable algorithms over black boxes, so every tool page tells you exactly what was done to your image.
