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.
