Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about privacy, performance, and how Qwikory tools work.
Privacy & File Security
Are my files uploaded or saved on any server?
No. Never. All file operations (compressing images, resizing photos, merging PDFs, extracting pages, scanning QR codes) execute 100% inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas, WebAssembly, and local JavaScript. Your documents and photos never cross the internet to any server.
Does Qwikory store generated passwords or inputs?
No. Passwords generated by our Password Generator exist only in your browser's temporary memory and are generated using window.crypto.getRandomValues. Once you close the page, the password is permanently gone.
How can I verify that files aren't uploaded?
You can open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), switch to the 'Network' tab, and compress an image or merge PDFs. You will notice zero POST requests or file upload traffic.
Usage & Limits
Is Qwikory completely free?
Yes. All current tools and utilities on Qwikory are 100% free with no hidden paywalls, no monthly subscription tiers, and no required credit card.
Is there a limit on how many files I can process?
Because processing happens directly on your own hardware rather than costly cloud servers, there are no artificial daily or hourly usage caps.
What is the maximum supported file size?
Since files are read into local browser RAM, standard image files up to 50MB and PDF files up to 100MB process smoothly on modern laptops, desktops, and smartphones.
Browser & Technical Support
Which browsers are supported?
Qwikory works on all modern browsers, including Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Why do I need to grant camera permission for QR scanning?
Camera access is needed solely to capture the live video feed into the browser's local jsQR decoder. The video stream is never recorded, saved, or uploaded anywhere. If you prefer not to use your camera, you can use the 'Upload Image' tab instead.
