I built a simple tool to stop wasting time on repetitive file tasks

I was constantly switching between different tools just to do basic things —
merge PDFs, compress images, convert files, generate QR codes, etc.

It felt unnecessary.

So I built PixelTrim — a lightweight, no-login toolkit that handles these everyday tasks in one place.

What it can do:

  • Merge & convert PDFs
  • Compress, resize, and edit images
  • Remove image backgrounds
  • Extract text from images (OCR)
  • Generate QR codes
  • Word counter, font generator, and more

The focus was simple:
→ fast
→ minimal
→ no friction

No signups, no clutter — just open and use.

🔗 Try it here: https://pixeltrim.vercel.app/

I’m still improving it, so I’d really appreciate feedback —
What other tools would you want in something like this?
