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.
