Piximi: Images to Discovery#
Piximi is an open-source, browser-based platform for interactive bioimage analysis. Designed for accessibility and flexibility, Piximi enables users to perform advanced image processing tasks without requiring any installation or deep machine learning expertise. Built with researchers and biologists in mind, it provides a user-friendly interface for annotation, segmentation, classification, and quantitative measurement of microscopy images.
Key Features#
Browser-Based
No installation, no dependencies, no compatibility issues. Run Piximi directly in your browser, on any platform.
Privacy-Preserving
All data stays on your machine. Piximi processes images entirely client-side—ideal for working with sensitive or patient-derived datasets.
Integrated Image Analysis Pipeline
Piximi supports the full Images-to-Discovery workflow:
Annotation: Draw and label regions of interest manually.
Segmentation: Automatically identify and isolate objects within images using AI models.
Classification: Assign labels to segmented objects using customizable classifiers.
Measurement: Quantify object features and export results for downstream analysis.
No-Code AI
Apply and train machine learning models visually. Piximi abstracts complex AI concepts through guided tools, allowing non-specialists to harness their power effectively.
Open Source & Extensible
Hosted on GitHub. Actively developed with a modular architecture supporting collaboration, feature requests, and custom extensions.
