Case study
PenguPix: image tools that stay on your device
PenguPix is a free online toolkit of 39 image tools that run in the browser. It is one of my own web projects, designed and built from scratch.
Overview
Many online image tools ask visitors to upload files to a server, create an account or wade through clutter. PenguPix takes the opposite approach: a friendly, focused toolkit where the tools run in the browser, according to the site, files never leave your device.
The site is built around making everyday image jobs, like resizing a photo to a target size or converting a format, simple and quick, with a friendly brand identity.
