Frequently asked questions
Are my images stored on a FREE PIXEL server?
No. The selected originals and results are processed in your current browser and are not uploaded to FREE PIXEL.
Can I process several images at once?
Many tools support up to 30 files. Split very large files into smaller batches if your device has limited memory.
Will conversion improve the original quality?
Conversion and compression cannot recreate missing detail. Compare the separate 2× and 4× upscaling tool when enlarging a small source.
