Question 1

Are all Quill Tools really free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every tool on Quill Tools is 100% free with no usage limits, no sign-up required, and no hidden charges. We believe productivity tools should be accessible to everyone.

Question 2

Is my data safe? Do you store my files or text?

Accepted Answer

Your privacy is our top priority. All processing happens directly in your browser — your text, images, and files never leave your device or get uploaded to any server. We use no tracking cookies and collect zero personal data.

Question 3

Which tools are available on Quill Tools?

Accepted Answer

We offer 76 free online tools across eight product lines: Writing Tools (grammar check, word counter, case converter), Image Tools (compressor, format converter, background remover), Developer Tools (JSON, Base64, JWT, regex, minifiers), Security Tools (passwords and hashes), Utility Tools (QR codes, barcodes, unit converter, CV builder), Video Tools (screen recorder, trimmer, compressor), Audio Tools (voice recorder, converter, text-to-speech), and PDF Tools (merge, split, rotate).

Question 4

Do I need to install anything to use the tools?

Accepted Answer

No installation is needed. All Quill Tools run entirely in your web browser. Simply visit the tool page, and it's ready to use instantly on any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.

Question 5

Can I use these tools on my phone or tablet?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All Quill Tools are fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. They work with any modern browser on iOS, Android, or any other platform.

Question 6

How does the image background removal work?

Accepted Answer

Our background remover uses an AI model (ONNX runtime) that runs entirely in your browser. Upload any image and the AI detects the subject, removing the background automatically. Since it runs locally, your images stay completely private.

Question 7

What image formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Our Image Tools support PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF formats. You can convert between any of these formats, compress images up to 80% smaller, and remove backgrounds — all for free.

Question 8

Can I generate QR codes for commercial use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All QR codes you generate on Quill Tools are free for personal and commercial use. There are no watermarks, attribution requirements, or usage limits. Download in PNG or SVG format.

Question 9

Do the tools work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once a tool page has loaded, all the work happens on your device, so you can disconnect from the internet entirely and keep formatting, converting, and generating. Handy on flights or unreliable connections.

Question 10

Which browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

Quill Tools works in every modern browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Arc, and Opera, on both desktop and mobile. We recommend keeping your browser up to date for the best performance, especially for AI-powered tools like the background remover.

Question 11

Is there a file size limit for images?

Accepted Answer

There's no artificial limit, because there's no upload — the practical limit is your device's memory. Files of 50 MB and beyond work fine on most modern machines, which is far beyond what most upload-based tools allow.

Question 12

Does compressing an image reduce its quality?

Accepted Answer

You're in control. The Image Compressor lets you choose the quality level and preview the result before downloading. At the default settings, most photos shrink by 60–80% with no visible difference.

Question 13

Can you see or recover anything I type into a tool?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no server component receiving your input — it exists only in your browser tab's memory. Close the tab and it's gone for good. That also means we can't recover anything for you, so download results you want to keep.

Question 14

Are the generated passwords really secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Password Generator uses your browser's built-in cryptographic randomness (crypto.getRandomValues), the same API used by password managers. The password is generated on your device and never transmitted anywhere.

Question 15

What hash algorithms do you support?

Accepted Answer

We currently offer MD5 and SHA-256 generators, plus a password strength checker. Hashes are computed locally in your browser, so they're safe to use even with sensitive strings — nothing is logged.

Question 16

Can the JSON Formatter handle large files?

Accepted Answer

Yes — because parsing happens on your machine, the formatter comfortably handles multi-megabyte JSON documents. If a file is malformed, you'll get a precise error with the line and position so you can fix it quickly.

Question 17

Is it safe to decode JWT tokens here?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this matters: pasting production tokens into random websites is risky because most send them to a server. Quill's JWT Decoder runs entirely client-side — your token never leaves the page. Still, as good practice, avoid sharing tokens anywhere you don't have to.

Question 18

How accurate is the grammar checker?

Accepted Answer

The grammar checker catches common mistakes, punctuation errors, and awkward phrasing, and it works offline in your browser. It's designed for quick, private proofreading; for legal or medical writing, we recommend a human review as well.

Question 19

Is the CV/Resume builder really ATS-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The templates use a clean single-column structure, standard fonts, and proper heading hierarchy — the format applicant-tracking systems parse most reliably. You can export to PDF with one click, free, with no watermark.

Question 20

Can I scan QR codes and barcodes, not just create them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The QR Code Scanner reads codes from your camera or an uploaded image, and the Barcode Reader handles common formats like EAN, UPC, and Code 128. Scanning happens locally — images are never uploaded.

Question 21

Is the screen recorder really private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The screen recorder uses your browser's built-in getDisplayMedia and MediaRecorder APIs, so capture and encoding both happen on your device. Your footage is never uploaded to any server — when you stop recording, the file exists only in your browser until you download it.

Question 22

Do my PDFs get uploaded when I merge or split them?

Accepted Answer

No. Our PDF tools use pdf-lib, a library that runs entirely in your browser. Merging, splitting, rotating, and building PDFs all happen in your tab's memory — contracts, statements, and other sensitive documents never leave your device.

Question 23

Why do video tools export WebM?

Accepted Answer

WebM is the format your browser's native encoder produces, which is what lets recording and compression run locally without uploads. WebM plays in every modern browser and most players, and if you ever need MP4, any free converter (like HandBrake) can convert it in one step.

Question 24

Can I embed a Quill tool in my own website or docs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every tool has an embeddable version under /embed that you can drop into an iframe on your own site, wiki, or internal docs. Same engine, same privacy guarantees, your page.

Question 25

Why don't I need an account?

Accepted Answer

Because nothing is stored, there's nothing an account would do. No history, no cloud sync, no profile — you open a tool, use it, and leave. It keeps the experience fast and keeps your data yours.

Question 26

I found a bug — how do I report it?

Accepted Answer

We'd love to hear about it. Use the red bug-report button in the bottom-right corner of any page, message us on WhatsApp, or email support@quill.tools. Bug reports usually get a fix or a reply within a couple of days.

Question 27

Can I request a new tool or feature?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — many of our tools exist because someone asked. Email support@quill.tools with what you're trying to get done (not just the feature name); the more context, the better we can build it.
