Frequently asked questions
Short answers about how the tools work. Still stuck? See Help.
Are my files or text uploaded anywhere?
No. Every tool runs inside your browser. Photos, passwords, JSON and any other text you enter are processed on your device and are never sent to our server or stored by us.
Is Suite Tools really free?
Yes. All 10 tools are free with no account and no sign-up. The site may show an ad banner at the bottom of the page to cover hosting costs.
Do the tools work offline?
Mostly. After you have opened a page once, your browser keeps a copy, so that page keeps working without a connection. Open each tool once while online so your browser can save it.
How many photos can I compress at once?
Up to 25 per batch, which keeps things fast on phones. For more, run several batches.
JPEG or WebP – which should I pick?
WebP files are usually 20–40% smaller at the same visual quality and work in all modern browsers and most apps. Pick JPEG if the photos are going to older devices or software.
Does compressing remove location data?
Yes. Compressed images are redrawn from scratch, so EXIF data such as GPS location, camera model and date taken is not copied into the new file. Use the Metadata Remover if you want clean copies without resizing.
Are my original photos changed?
No. You always get new files: a ZIP download, or new files with a _compressed suffix if you chose a folder in Chrome or Edge. Originals are only deleted if you choose a folder and tick the delete option yourself.
Can I open iPhone HEIC photos?
Only in browsers that can read HEIC, such as Safari. In Chrome or Firefox, change the iPhone camera to 'Most Compatible' or export the photos as JPEG first.
How secure are the generated passwords?
Passwords and IDs use your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator (the Web Crypto API), and every password includes at least one character from each type you select. They are never sent anywhere – copy them straight into your password manager.
What is a SHA-256 hash used for?
A hash is a fingerprint of text: the same input always gives the same 64-character result, and any change gives a different one. It is useful for checking that text has not changed. It is not encryption and cannot be reversed.
Why does Base64 decoding say 'not readable text'?
The Base64 is valid but contains binary data (for example an image) rather than text, so it cannot be shown in the result box.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on phone and computer. Saving straight into a folder only works in Chrome and Edge on a computer; everywhere else you get a ZIP download.
