FAQ
Does FreelTools upload my image?

Should I use JPG, PNG, or PDF?
Use JPG for photos, PNG for transparent or sharp graphics, and PDF when the destination specifically asks for a document.
Why did DataForSEO matter for this page?
DataForSEO helped surface real image-prep search language so FreelTools can build pages around what people actually need to do, not only around tool names.
