Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about how PhotoTools works.
- What is PhotoTools?
- PhotoTools is a free online image editor that runs entirely in your browser. It includes tools for cropping, editing, compressing, resizing, format conversion, watermarking, and framing — no software installation or account needed.
- Is PhotoTools really free?
- Yes. Every tool is free to use with no limits on the number of images, file size, or edits. There are no premium tiers or hidden paywalls.
- Are my images safe?
- Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. When you close the tab, the data is gone.
- What image formats are supported?
- You can import PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. You can export to PNG, JPEG, or WebP — with adjustable quality for lossy formats.
- What does "client-side processing" mean?
- It means your browser does all the work. The image is loaded into your device's memory, processed using the Canvas API, and the result is generated locally. No data is sent to any server at any point.
- Can I use PhotoTools on my phone?
- Yes. PhotoTools works on any modern browser, including mobile Safari and Chrome. The interface is responsive and adapts to smaller screens.
- What's the maximum image size I can edit?
- There's no hard limit set by PhotoTools. The only constraint is your device's available memory. Most devices handle images up to 20–50 megapixels without issues. Very large images may be slower on older hardware.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No. There is no registration, sign-up, or login. Just open the tool and start editing.
- What's the difference between cropping and resizing?
- Cropping cuts away parts of the image to change its composition — the remaining pixels stay at their original resolution. Resizing scales the entire image up or down, changing the pixel dimensions of the whole picture.
- Should I use JPEG, PNG, or WebP?
- JPEG for photos — smallest file size, no transparency. PNG for screenshots, logos, and images with transparency — larger files but pixel-perfect. WebP for the web — supports both lossy and lossless compression with transparency, typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG at similar quality.
