Open Source Alternatives to Figma
Image Dimensions Checker is a browser-based alternative for users who need this focused result without installing a proprietary desktop app or entering a larger hosted workflow.
This research compares that workflow with Figma while keeping the outbound source link at the bottom after the analysis.
Why Image Dimensions Checker fits
TextFaker provides one-image local dimension checking with copy-ready results for design handoff notes.
What Figma offers
Figma is a proprietary collaborative design platform for interface design, prototyping, whiteboarding, and team workflows.

Decision guide
Use TextFaker when you need the original raster file's pixel facts outside a design canvas.
Use Figma for product design, layouts, components, prototypes, comments, and team review.
Side-by-side open source alternative comparison
| Decision point | Image Dimensions Checker | Figma | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alternative fit | Our workflowChecks source image facts. | Proprietary workflowBuilds and reviews design files. | TextFaker covers only a pre-design lookup. |
| Source model | Our workflowBrowser APIs and local file selection. | Proprietary workflowProprietary hosted platform. | Different trust and deployment model. |
| Setup | Our workflowNo canvas or project required. | Proprietary workflowRequires a Figma file or workspace. | TextFaker is faster for one asset. |
| Feature parity | Our workflowDimensions, ratio, megapixels, orientation, and file facts. | Proprietary workflowDesign, prototyping, comments, components, and assets. | No design parity is intended. |
| Editing/export parity | Our workflowRead-only facts. | Proprietary workflowCanvas editing and export workflows. | Figma wins for design work. |
| Migration path | Our workflowVerify raster assets before import or handoff. | Proprietary workflowUse verified assets in collaborative designs. | The checker complements Figma. |
Detailed research
Open Alternative Fit
TextFaker can replace the small step of checking the original image dimensions before an asset is imported into Figma.
Feature Parity and Limits
The checker has no design canvas, component system, prototype links, comments, or team files. Its scope is intentionally limited to file facts.
Data Control and Pricing
Because the dimensions check happens before import, the original file can be inspected without adding it to a hosted project.
Where Figma Still Wins
Figma is the better choice for UI design, collaboration, prototyping, and developer handoff once the asset belongs in a product file.
Migration Guidance
Use TextFaker to document source image facts, then paste the copy-ready summary into design tickets or QA notes.
Research notes
- Figma is a design platform, not a direct dimensions checker.
- Imported image dimensions can matter for design QA and developer handoff.
- TextFaker should be positioned as a preflight reader, not a collaborative design replacement.
