Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a file size limit?
Browser-based tools are limited by available device memory. Most conversions work well with files up to 50-100MB. For larger files, use desktop software like ImageMagick (images) or ffmpeg (video/audio).
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All SnapSum conversion tools run entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
