Questions & answers

No. Every tool processes files in your browser on your device. Your images, PDFs and documents never leave your computer — there is no upload step.

No account, no sign-up and no payment. Open a tool, add your files and download the result.

Images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP), PDFs, and text input for document generators. Browsers cannot decode some camera formats such as HEIC or RAW, so those are not supported.

Files are processed on your own device, so very large files usually work but take longer — the practical limit is your browser's memory.

No. Image and PDF tools read your file with the browser and produce the result on the same device. The file contents are not sent anywhere as part of processing.

No. There is no sign-up, login or email step. Every tool opens and runs without registration.

No. Results are downloaded by you; nothing is stored on a server on your behalf. Closing the tab discards the working session.

The privacy and cookie pages describe this in full: the site uses Google Analytics for anonymous usage measurement, which sets its own cookies. Advertising is not enabled at present.

Files such as ID scans, contracts and application forms never travel over the network for processing, so there is no server-side copy to secure, breach or retain. It is a simpler model than upload-and-wait services.

The file size on disk. KB usually means a thousand bytes, though some systems use 1024 — so aim a little under the limit rather than exactly on it. See KB and MB in the glossary for the full explanation.

File size tracks pixel count and content detail, not how large the image appears on screen. A detailed 12-megapixel photo can be several MB even though it looks identical to a 400 KB version at the same display size.

Quality first, then dimensions. Lowering JPEG quality usually cuts size sharply with little visible change; resizing to the exact dimensions the requirement asks for finishes the job. See the compression guide for a worked order of operations.

There is no server-side cap because processing happens on your device. Very large files are limited by your browser's memory and take longer — a several-hundred-megabyte PDF may struggle on a phone.

Because content differs. Flat, smooth images compress far better than detailed or noisy ones, and the file format adds its own overhead on top. Identical dimensions never guarantee identical bytes.

JPEG for photographs and anything that must fit a byte limit; PNG for logos, screenshots, text-heavy images and anything that needs a transparent background. The JPG vs PNG vs WebP guide goes into the trade-offs.

Not the original on disk — you always download a new file. But the reduced-quality output has permanently discarded detail, so if you later need maximum quality, go back to the original rather than re-compressing the output.

Usually at comparable visual quality, but acceptance matters more than size. If a form or portal only lists JPEG and PNG, converting to WebP produces a file it will reject.

It was saved as JPEG, which cannot store transparency. Keep it as PNG (or WebP) after removing the background, and the cut-out stays transparent wherever it is placed.

Converting to a lossy format (JPEG, lossy WebP) is a one-way quality step. Converting between lossless formats, or from a lossy source to another format, adds no new loss but also recovers nothing.

Set the dimensions on the photo tool, then print the produced sheet at 100% scale — never “fit to page” or “shrink to fit”, which silently changes the size. The print guide walks through the full check.

Not by itself. DPI is a label that maps existing pixels to a printed size; it adds no detail. What matters is how many real pixels you have for the size you intend to print at.

Match the paper you will actually print on. A4 (210 × 297 mm) is standard outside North America; Letter is standard in the US and Canada. Printing one on the other clips content or leaves a border.

PDF pages follow the order the files were added. Check and rearrange the list before combining — it is much easier than reordering after the fact.

Yes — combine images into a PDF and the photo becomes a page. Remember that a photo of a page is raster: it looks fine on screen but does not scale or print as cleanly as text-based PDFs.

Most browsers cannot decode HEIC or RAW camera formats, so those cannot be read locally. Convert the file to JPEG on your phone or with desktop software first, then use the tools here.

A protected PDF cannot be read without its password, and no tool here asks you for one — the file is refused with a specific error the moment it is added. Open the PDF in your own reader and save or print an unlocked copy if your permissions allow it, then upload that copy. If you did not set the password, ask whoever sent the file for an unlocked version.

Probably still working. Large files are processed in the browser in real time, so a big PDF or a batch of photos can take noticeable time; the page will respond when it finishes.

Most image and PDF tools accept multiple files in one pass, applying the same settings to the whole batch. Tools that produce a single document — invoices, catalog sheets — take your data instead.

The interfaces are responsive and run in any current mobile browser, though heavy PDFs and large batches are more comfortable on a laptop where memory is larger.

Contact us at hello@imgtool2pdf.online. Include the tool name or page URL, your browser and device, what you were trying to do, what happened, any visible error message, and the steps that caused the problem. For technical issues, this detail makes the report much more useful. The Contact & Trust page explains what to try first: update the browser, check the file format, try a second browser, and read the error text the tool shows.
