Frequently Asked Questions

Are my private photos uploaded to a remote server?

No. HTMLtoPHP utilizes advanced HTML5 Canvas and local WebAssembly APIs. This means your images are compressed, converted, and edited entirely within your device's browser memory. Your files never leave your computer.

Why should I convert my images to the WebP format?

WebP is a next-generation image format developed by Google. It provides superior lossless and lossy compression for web images, often resulting in files 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEGs, which drastically improves your SEO and page load speeds.

Is there a file size limit for the image compressor?

Because the processing utilizes your local device's CPU and RAM rather than our servers, there are no strict artificial paywalls or file size limits. However, extremely massive files may be limited by your specific browser's memory allocation.

Can I extract text from handwritten notes using the OCR tool?

Our Image to Text tool uses powerful Optical Character Recognition. While it is highly accurate for printed text, screenshots, and digital documents, heavily stylized handwriting may yield less accurate results.
