๐ฏ Web & Social tools โ standardize for every channel
The web/social category is built on one principle: "export at the exact size each platform wants". Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok all keep changing their ratios, and link shares everywhere render OG cards. PXLTool removes the memorization โ pick a platform, get the precise output. Device mockups (iPhone/laptop frames) instantly upgrade portfolios and pitch decks.
