Frequently asked questions
Is PixelTools really free?
+
Yes, completely. There are no freemium tiers, no watermarks on outputs, and no daily processing limits. Every tool is free to use as much as you want.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
+
No. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript, the Canvas API, and WebAssembly (for AI-powered and PDF/video/audio tools). Your images, PDFs, audio, and video never leave your device. We don't have servers that receive your files.
What image formats are supported?
+
It depends on the tool. The Screenshot Beautifier and Image Compressor support JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The Image Converter handles HEIC, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, and SVG — including high-demand conversions like HEIC to JPG and WebP to JPG.
What video and audio formats are supported?
+
The Video Format Converter handles MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and AVI. The Audio Converter supports WAV, MP3, M4A, OGG, and FLAC, and can extract audio straight from a video file (MP4 to MP3). The Video Compressor, Trimmer, Cropper, Speed Changer, and Video to GIF Converter all work with common formats like MP4, MOV, and WebM.
What PDF tools does PixelTools offer?
+
Merge, split, compress, rotate, and crop PDFs. Delete, extract, rearrange, or number pages. Sign, annotate, redact, or flatten a PDF, unlock a password-protected one, extract or OCR its text, convert a PDF to JPG, or convert Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, and HTML files to PDF — all free, all running in your browser.
How many files can I process at once?
+
Batch processing with no hard limit is supported on the Image Compressor, Resize, Watermark, Upscaler, Remove Background, and Image Converter tools — drop in a whole folder and process it all at once, then download individually or as a ZIP. Other tools will gain batch support as they're built.

Do I need to create an account?
+
Never. No account, no email verification, no tracking. Just open the tool and use it. We don't even have a login system.
Why is everything free?
+
PixelTools is an indie project. Because all processing runs client-side, server costs are minimal. We want to build the best free alternative to paid tools like TinyPNG, remove.bg, CloudConvert, Squoosh, Smallpdf, and iLovePDF — tools that are great but charge for what should be free.
