Why These Tools Are Free

A fair question — how can AI image tools be free?

Three of the tools (Background Removal, Image Upscaler, and Photo Restoration) use AI models that cost money to run. The free tier gives you 3 uses per day — enough for occasional needs. If you need more, PixelForge Pro is $9.99/month for unlimited access.

The other three tools (Compressor, Format Converter, and Cropper) run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — zero server cost, so they're free forever with no daily limits.
