Pixel Forge

One source image. Every target. Rule-based conversion + gallery.

Gallery

The master image is done — but every target system wants a different format.

You created the perfect image for your app, website, or product — then the grind begins: scaling and cropping for favicons, app stores, social previews, and desktop icons. And after every tiny change to the original? The export marathon starts all over again. Developers and designers lose countless unpaid hours to this loop.

Pixel Forge breaks the cycle: define your checklist (web, store, desktop, social) once. After that, a single click generates every derivative format from your master — precisely and consistently.

Where others spend days on manual exports, you ship.

Features

Input formats

SVG and large PNG are the best masters. JPEG and small rasters convert, but stay lossy for gallery rebuild — see guide Formats & quality.

Target formats

Not PNG-only: each preset emits what the platform rules require. SVG out only from SVG in — no auto-trace from PNG.

Why Pixel Forge?

Whether it's a simple web project, a complex extension, or a full app: images are needed everywhere. Pixel Forge handles the granular busywork so you can focus on what actually matters.

One source. Structured output.

Drop in an SVG or PNG, pick your platform presets, and Pixel Forge does the rest. The result is a cleanly structured output — from hero banner to marketplace icon. Especially valuable for developers: every run automatically generates a metadata.json for full traceability and downstream automation.

Built for the AI era

Modern dev workflows demand precision. Define your targets once, then let AI assistants wire the generated assets into your code using the metadata. Pixel Forge uses real, stored platform rules — not rough guesses.

Gallery management & Git backup

Keep every project library in view. Pro+ adds gallery Git sync, full-repository backup commits, and gallery intelligence (duplicate detection, auto-merge, outliers). Community keeps import, rebuild, and browse without a key.

Formats & quality (honest)

Pixel Forge is a target-based exporter, not a magic PNG↔SVG converter. SVG → PNG/WebP/ICO… is normal rasterization and usually looks sharp. PNG → SVG is not auto-vectorization — SVG output only when the source is already SVG (copy/optimize). Details: guide Formats & quality.
