Questions

Is it free?

Yes. There is no account, watermark or daily limit.

Do you store my files?

No. We don't store your files on our servers or keep a copy of anything you make. These tools are built privacy first.

JPG or PNG?

JPG makes a smaller file and is right for most photos and thumbnails. PNG keeps every pixel exact, so it is larger.

Why is there a 1 GB limit?

It keeps the free tool fast and reliable. For larger files or automated work, use the MediaTofu API.
