FAQ
Do you upload my files?
No. There is no file-upload API for these tools. The file is read in your browser tab. We do not receive the contents.
What does client-side mean?
Client-side means the work happens on your device. The website sends code to your browser. Your browser uses that code on the file you picked.
Do I need an account?
No. Open a tool and use it. Free tools do not require a login.
Is SW Tools free?
Yes. Core tools are free with no watermark. Optional Pro is a one-time license. Free tools still work without it.
How do I use these tools from Cursor or Claude?
Use the local MCP hub. Setup is at https://tools.sw-commercial.com/mcp. The hub runs on your computer. It does not upload files to us.
Is there a Chrome extension?
Yes. SW Toolbox is on the Chrome Web Store. Right-click an image on any page — including Google Images — to compress, convert to JPG/PNG/WebP, resize, decode HEIC, or strip EXIF. Right-click a PDF link to split pages, or selected text for a QR PNG. You choose where to save. The page is not replaced. Install: https://tools.sw-commercial.com/chrome
