1. General Disclaimer

The tools provided at freeimgtools.net are offered for convenience as general-purpose utilities for compressing, converting, and resizing images. They are intended for everyday image tasks — preparing images for websites, reducing file sizes for email attachments, converting formats for compatibility, and similar routine work.

We make no guarantees about the output quality for any specific professional application. Image compression involves trade-offs between file size and quality. The tools provide controls (quality sliders, format selection, dimension inputs) but the appropriate settings depend on your specific use case, which we cannot anticipate.

Results may vary depending on your browser, operating system, the source image content, and the settings you choose. The same quality setting can produce noticeably different visual results on different types of images — a photograph and a screenshot with text will both change differently at the same compression level.

2. Image Processing Accuracy

All image processing (except the AI alt text feature) runs inside your web browser using the Canvas API. This is the same technology used by many browser-based image editors, and it produces reliable results for the vast majority of everyday use cases.

However, browser-based processing may differ in minor ways from professional desktop software such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or Lightroom. Differences may include:

• Color profile handling. Browsers may not honor embedded ICC color profiles the same way professional software does. If color accuracy is critical, verify the output in a calibrated color environment.
• EXIF metadata. Depending on the operation, EXIF metadata (camera settings, GPS data, orientation) may or may not be preserved in the output.
• Compression codec behavior. The browser's built-in JPEG and WebP encoders are not identical to the encoders used in professional software. At the same quality setting, output file sizes may differ slightly.

For critical professional applications — including medical imaging, legal documents, print production, archival photography, or any context where pixel-perfect accuracy is required — use dedicated professional tools. Browser-based tools, including ours, are not a substitute for professional imaging software in high-stakes workflows.

3. No Professional Advice

The guides and content on this website (including the Guides section) are provided for general informational and educational purposes. They explain image formats, compression techniques, and web performance concepts at a level suitable for web developers, designers, and general users.

This content does not constitute legal advice, medical advice, technical consulting, or any other form of professional advice. If you are working in a regulated industry where image quality has legal or medical implications, consult a qualified professional.

Specific recommendations in the guides (such as file size targets for web images or quality settings for JPEG compression) are practical guidelines based on common web development standards. They are not universal rules, and the right answer for your project depends on factors specific to your situation.

4. Third-Party Links

This website contains links to external websites, tools, and resources. These links are provided as a convenience and for informational purposes. We do not control the content of external sites and are not responsible for:

• The accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of content on linked external sites
• The availability or uptime of external resources
• Any changes made to external sites after we linked to them
• The privacy practices or terms of service of external sites

Links to external resources such as browser compatibility databases, standards documentation, or third-party tools are included because they are useful references, not as endorsements. Use your own judgment when visiting external sites.

5. Advertising

This website displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Advertisements appear on pages throughout the site and may be displayed in various positions.

Ad content is controlled by Google, not by Free Image Tools. We do not review or approve individual ads before they are displayed. If you see an ad that you find misleading, inappropriate, or that violates Google's advertising policies, you can report it using Google's ad feedback tool.

The presence of an advertisement on this site does not constitute an endorsement of the advertised product or service. Advertisements are not relevant to the function of the image tools — they are how the site is funded so it can remain free to use.

Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history. You can review and adjust your ad personalization preferences at adssettings.google.com.

6. AI Features

The AI Alt Text feature uses Cloudflare AI's image-to-text models to generate descriptive alt text for images. When you use this feature, your image is sent to Cloudflare's infrastructure for AI inference. The image is processed in memory and a text description is returned — Cloudflare does not store the image after inference completes.

AI-generated descriptions have inherent limitations:

• Accuracy is not guaranteed. The AI model may misidentify objects, miss important details, or describe images incorrectly — particularly for unusual, abstract, or specialized images.
• Context is missing. The model describes what it sees visually, but it has no knowledge of the context in which an image is used. Good alt text for accessibility often requires context that only a human author can provide.
• Review is required. AI-generated alt text should always be reviewed by a human before being used in production. For accessibility compliance (WCAG), alt text must be accurate and appropriate — automated generation alone is not sufficient to meet accessibility standards.
• Sensitive content. Do not use this feature with images containing sensitive, confidential, or private information, as the image must be transmitted to a third-party service (Cloudflare) for processing.

The AI feature is a productivity tool to generate a first draft of alt text, not a replacement for human review.

7. Changes to This Disclaimer

This disclaimer may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, new features, or applicable law. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was most recently revised.

We recommend reviewing this page periodically if you rely on the Service for professional work. Questions about this disclaimer can be directed to our GitHub Issues page.
