Click Process once. Pixometry enhances your images, removes backgrounds, upscales low-resolution sources, and relinks the result, all in the resolution and colour space your layout actually needs.
Free plugin. Adobe Creative Cloud subscription required. Uses your Pixometry Cloud credits per image processed.
Every image in an InDesign layout has its own story, the right resolution for the frame, the right crop for the layout, the right colour space for the print run. Manually preparing dozens or hundreds of images through Photoshop before you can start typesetting eats hours out of every project.
Pixometry does it for you, image-by-image, at the exact size and quality each frame needs. Nothing more, nothing less.
Place. Click. Done.
No round-trips to Photoshop. No renaming, no folder juggling, no lost source files.
Design your layout as you always do. Photos can be full-resolution originals. Pixometry only processes the region visible in each frame.
The Pixometry panel lists your configured channels: image enhancement, background removal, upscaling, or your own custom recipe. One click per image, or select all.
Images are enhanced in the cloud and relinked automatically. Your document instantly shows the processed result at the right resolution.
Four things that make Pixometry more than "just another export script."
Pixometry reads the geometric bounds of each frame in InDesign, maps them back to your source image's actual pixels, and processes only the visible region, at the DPI your layout was designed for.
A 24-megapixel source used in a 50 × 40 mm frame at 300 DPI comes out as a razor-sharp 591 × 472 px image, not the entire 24 MP that InDesign would otherwise carry around.
The panel lists every placed raster image in your document. Process one, process the batch, or reprocess just the ones you changed. The plugin tracks which frames have already been processed so you never redo work you didn't need to.
The same panel drives every Pixometry capability: background removal with pixel-accurate masks, AI upscaling for low-resolution sources, and full colour management for CMYK, AdobeRGB, sRGB and custom ICC profiles, all in a single workflow.
Sending web-sourced photography to print? Pixometry upscales small originals with detail intact, then converts to your target colour space in the same pass.
Your source files are never touched. Processed results are saved alongside as new files, and a click on Show original instantly relinks back to the untouched source. Experiment freely.
One click to switch, for every image, or just one.
