PixKit
About PixKit
PixKit is an independent, local-first image toolkit maintained by Kalim Amzad. Its goal is to make useful editing, conversion and visible-watermark cleanup available without requiring an account or uploading private media to an editing server.
How it works
Core image processing runs in your browser using Canvas, Web Workers and vendored JavaScript. Video cleanup uses browser WebCodecs when the browser supports it. The visible Gemini sparkle remover uses reverse-alpha recovery based on an open-source MIT-licensed method and deliberately leaves Google’s invisible SynthID provenance signal intact.
Product principles
- Process media locally whenever technically possible.
- Explain confidence and practical browser limits instead of hiding them.
- Keep exports free of PixKit branding.
- Publish source and third-party attribution for review.
