Accepted Answer

With the Watermark tool (available for both PDF and Images), you can enter custom text (such as CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT), set opacity, and adjust rotation angles to prevent unauthorized duplication.

Question 7

Is ToolsTier completely free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every tool on the platform is 100% free (43 tools) with no sign-up, no subscriptions, no daily limits, and no watermarks on output. Everything runs directly in your browser without uploading files to any server.

Question 8

Do the tools work offline?

Accepted Answer

Once the page is loaded, most tools work without a connection because processing happens in your browser; smart features like OCR and the background-removal model download their files on first use only.

Question 9

What is the maximum file size I can process?

Accepted Answer

There is no server-side limit because processing is fully local; the practical limit is your browser and device memory — files of hundreds of megabytes usually process smoothly on modern hardware.

Question 10

Can I chain several tools into one workflow?

Accepted Answer

Yes — convert your files to PDF, then merge, number, sign or watermark them; batch processing downloads the results as a single ZIP archive preserving folder structure.
