About Chitrax

What Is Chitrax?

Chitrax is a free, all-in-one suite of image and PDF tools that runs entirely inside your browser. Resize images, compress photos, convert formats, remove backgrounds with AI, generate passport photos, enhance image quality, create PDFs from images, and merge PDF documents, all without uploading a single file to any server.

Why We Built It

Most online image and PDF tools require you to upload your files to remote servers. This means your personal photos, confidential documents, and sensitive images pass through third-party infrastructure, often without clear privacy guarantees.

We built Chitrax to prove that powerful file processing doesn't require server uploads. By leveraging WebAssembly, Canvas API, Web Workers, and on-device AI models, Chitrax delivers professional-grade results while keeping your files exactly where they belong: on your device.

Privacy-First Philosophy

Every tool in Chitrax processes files using your browser's local memory and compute resources. No file data ever leaves your device. When you close the browser tab, all session data is immediately cleared. We do not store, inspect, or transmit your files. Period.

Our AI-powered background removal uses neural network models that download once and cache locally in your browser. After the initial model download, even the AI features work completely offline.

How It Works

• Image Processing: Powered by HTML5 Canvas and Web Workers for resize, compress, and format conversion tasks.
• AI Background Removal: Uses ISNet neural network running via ONNX Runtime WebAssembly, entirely in-browser.
• PDF Operations: Built with pdf-lib running in dedicated Web Workers for PDF creation and merging.
• Photo Enhancement: Real-time CSS filters and SVG convolution kernels for sharpening and color correction.
