HELP & FAQ
Good questions.
Useful answers.
A little guidance on files, formats, privacy and getting the result you want.
Are all image tools free?
Yes. All image tools and calculators are available without payment or an account. Optional accounts let you view activity recorded while signed in. File and dimension safeguards depend on each tool and protect browser memory; they are not paid restrictions.
Which tool should I use to make an image smaller?
Use Compress Image for lossless optimization without resizing. Use Compress to Size when a form requires a file below a particular KB or MB limit. Use Resize Image to change its pixel dimensions. The target-size tool can change quality or dimensions, so inspect its result before saving.
Do you upload my image files?
Image processing runs in your browser. Image files are not uploaded for processing. Some tools download AI models or other resources first. Numeric usage metadata may be recorded, and optional accounts and contact messages are stored on the server. Read our privacy policy for details.
Which image formats are supported?
Most tools accept JPG, PNG and WebP. Dedicated converters also accept HEIC or static SVG. Each workspace lists its supported input and output formats. Use PNG or WebP for transparency; JPG requires a solid background.
Can I still remove a visible Gemini watermark?
Yes. Open the dedicated Gemini Watermark Remover from the tool library. It targets a supported visible corner logo and lets you compare results. It does not detect or remove invisible SynthID, and an uncertain match keeps the original file unchanged.
Does AI upscaling recover the original detail?
AI upscaling estimates new pixels to produce a larger image. It cannot guarantee recovery of missing detail, and may change textures, text or facial features. Compare the output at 100% before using it. A larger image also uses more device memory.
What watermark does Smart Image Tools remove?
The Gemini watermark remover targets the visible Gemini logo in the corner of compatible images using reverse alpha blending. Results vary if an image has been resized, edited, or uses a different logo pattern. Preview the result before downloading.
Does this remove invisible SynthID?
No. Invisible SynthID is separate from the visible Gemini logo. Smart Image Tools does not implement SynthID detection or removal, and compression is not a guarantee that an invisible watermark is removed.
Is the watermark remover free?
Yes. You can use the browser-based watermark remover without an account. Choose your images, review the result, and download.
An image is taking a long time. What should I do?
Large files and large batches can use significant memory. Try fewer images at once, close other busy tabs or use a smaller image. Some AI tools need to download model files before their first run.
Do I need an account?
You can use the browser-based image tools without signing in. Account screens are separate from the image-processing workflow.
