Frequently Asked Questions
How can files be processed without uploading?
Modern browsers have powerful APIs and WebAssembly support that allow complex processing right on your device. We use technologies like Canvas API, pdf-lib, FFmpeg.wasm, and ONNX Runtime to process images, PDFs, videos, and more—all in your browser.
Is it really free with no catch?
Yes! We support the site through non-intrusive ads. You get unlimited free access to all tools, and we never paywall features or add watermarks.
Why should I trust that my files stay private?
You can verify this yourself: open your browser's Network tab in Developer Tools while using our tools. You'll see that no file data is ever sent to any server. The processing happens entirely in your browser's memory.
What's the maximum file size I can process?
Since processing happens in your browser, limits depend on your device's memory. Most modern devices handle files up to 100MB easily. For video processing, we recommend files under 50MB for smooth performance.
