PDF and Image Tools
Why is my PDF not processing?
Possible reasons include unsupported formats, damaged files, browser compatibility issues or processing limitations.
Check that the file is valid and try again using a supported browser.
Why did my compressed image lose quality?
Some compression methods reduce image information to achieve smaller files.
Try a higher quality setting if the relevant tool provides one.
Can I recover the original file after editing?
Keep a separate copy of your original file before making important changes.
Do not assume that every transformation can be reversed.
Calculators
Are calculator results exact?
Results depend on the formulas, assumptions and information entered.
Financial estimates may differ from actual provider calculations.
Can I rely on mortgage estimates when applying for a loan?
Mortgage calculators are useful for planning but do not replace lender assessments or professional advice.
QR Codes and Barcodes
Why is my QR code not scanning?
Check the image quality, contrast, size and encoded information.
Test the QR code with a compatible scanning device.
Can I use a generated barcode for retail products?
Retail acceptance depends on the barcode standard, the identifier used and any applicable registration requirements.
Developer Tools
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is an encoding format and does not protect confidential information.
Why is my JSON invalid?
Common errors include missing quotation marks, incorrect commas and mismatched brackets.

Are my uploaded files stored?
Processing depends on the individual tool. Review our File Processing and Data Security page for verified details.
