About Pikden

What Pikden is

Pikden is a collection of free, single-purpose web tools: compress and resize images, merge and split PDFs, format JSON, count words, generate passwords, work out a loan payment, and more. Each tool does one job, loads fast, and needs no account.

Why everything runs in your browser

Most online tools upload your file to a server, process it there and send it back. That is slow on a weak connection and means a copy of your document or photo sits on someone else’s computer. Pikden’s tools do the work on your own device using modern browser features - the canvas API for images, open-source libraries such as pdf-lib and PDF.js for PDFs, and the Web Crypto API for passwords and hashes.

The result: your files are never uploaded, there are no size quotas set by us, and many tools keep working even if you go offline after the page has loaded.

Free, without catches

There are no sign-ups, daily limits or watermarks. If you have an idea for a tool or find a bug, we would love to hear from you on the contact page.
