Common questions
A few quick answers for the things visitors usually want to know before they try the tool.
Does PicaPic upload my files to a server?
No. Your files stay in the browser while PicaPic compresses, converts, or resizes them. That keeps the workflow private and removes the wait time of cloud uploads.
Can I compare formats before deciding what to export?
Yes. PicaPic is useful both as a guide and as a hands-on tool. You can test different formats, compare size savings, and keep the version that fits your use case best.
Is there a free option?
Yes. You can start on the free plan without creating an account, which makes it easy to test the workflow before deciding whether you need higher limits or batch-heavy usage.
