No limits whatsoever. Use any tool as many times as you want, process as many files as you need, with no daily caps or restrictions. Unlimited usage is core to our philosophy.

Privacy & Security

Is my data safe? Where do my files go?

Your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. We don't upload files to any server, we don't store them, and we can't see them. Your data stays 100% private on your computer.


Do you track or collect my personal information?

No. We use privacy-focused analytics to understand which tools are popular (no Google Analytics). We don't collect personal information, we don't use tracking cookies, and we don't sell data to third parties. Your privacy is sacred to us.


Can I use FreesApp for sensitive documents?

Yes! Since all processing happens locally in your browser and files never leave your device, FreesApp is safe for sensitive documents, confidential files, and private information. Nothing is uploaded to the internet.


Do FreesApp tools work offline?

Yes! After the initial page load, most tools work completely offline because all processing happens in your browser. You can disconnect from the internet and continue using the tools.


Can I request the source code?

While FreesApp is built with modern web technologies, the source code is currently private. However, we are committed to transparency. If you have specific questions about how our tools work or concerns about privacy, please contact us at freesapp.com@gmail.com and we'll be happy to address them.

Tool-Specific Questions

QR Code Generator: Can I add a logo to my QR code?

Yes! Our QR Code Generator supports adding custom logos to the center of your QR codes. Upload your logo image, and it will be embedded in the QR code while maintaining scannability.


Image Compressor: How much can I reduce image size?

Compression depends on the original image and quality settings. Typically, you can reduce image size by 50-90% while maintaining good visual quality. Use the quality slider to balance file size and image quality.


PDF Merger: Is there a limit on the number of PDFs I can merge?

No hard limit! You can merge as many PDFs as your browser can handle (usually dozens). All processing happens in your browser, so the only limitation is your device's memory.


PDF Splitter: Can I extract specific pages from a PDF?

Yes! PDF Splitter offers multiple modes: extract individual pages, select specific pages, define custom page ranges, or split every N pages. Choose the mode that fits your needs.


Invoice Generator: Where are my invoices stored?

Troubleshooting

A tool isn't working. What should I do?

First, try refreshing the page. If that doesn't help:
  • Check that you're using a modern browser (latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies
  • Try a different browser
  • Check browser console for errors (F12 → Console tab)
  • If the issue persists, contact us or email us

My file upload failed. What's wrong?

Check that:

• The file format is supported by the tool

• The file isn't corrupted

• Your browser has enough memory (very large files may fail on older devices)

• You're using a modern browser

If issues persist, try a smaller file or different browser.


The generated output looks wrong. Help!

This could be due to:
  • Invalid input format or corrupted file
  • Browser compatibility issues
  • Bug in the tool
Please contact us with details about what went wrong and the file you were processing (if not sensitive), so we can fix the issue.

Can I use FreesApp on older browsers or devices?

FreesApp requires modern JavaScript features available in browsers from the last 2-3 years. Very old browsers (like Internet Explorer) are not supported. For the best experience, use the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
