FAQ

Does Pixel Press upload my images?

No. Pixel Press processes images locally on your machine.

Are my original files overwritten?

No. Pixel Press writes optimized copies into an output folder. Keep originals until you have reviewed the generated files.

Which source formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF are the intended source formats when the bundled runtime can read them.

Which output formats are supported?

Pixel Press creates WebP and AVIF output. WebP is the broad compatibility option. AVIF can be smaller, but may be slower and may depend on platform and plan.

Why is AVIF disabled?

AVIF can be disabled because the runtime does not support AVIF output on that device, or because you are using Windows Free. On Windows, AVIF output is a Pro feature.

Why did Pixel Press skip some files?

Files can be skipped if they are unsupported, unreadable, broken, or unavailable when conversion runs.

Why is the output folder different from my source folder?

Pixel Press keeps source and output separate so generated files do not get mixed with originals.

Why did one image create two files?

If WebP and AVIF are both enabled, each input image can generate one output file per selected format.

Does Linux Use Microsoft Store Purchases?

No. The Linux release currently has its own release behavior and does not use Microsoft Store purchases.

What does Pixel Press Pro unlock?

On Windows, Pro unlocks unlimited batches and AVIF output. The Microsoft Store handles purchase and entitlement.
