Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about privacy, limits and how the tools work.
Is Filyzo really free?
Yes. Every tool is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to your servers?
No. PDF, image, document and ZIP tools run entirely inside your web browser using your device's processor. Your files are never sent to us, so we cannot see, store or share them.
Is there a file size limit?
Each file can be up to 100 MB. Because processing happens on your device, very large files may be slow on older phones. If a tool struggles, try splitting a large PDF first.
Does Filyzo work on mobile phones?
Yes. The site is designed for phones first, with a bottom navigation bar. You can also add it to your home screen from your browser menu to open it like an app.
Can I use the tools offline?
Once a tool page has loaded, most tools keep working without internet because nothing is uploaded. You need a connection to open a page for the first time.
Why does my compressed PDF have text I can't select?
To reach small sizes like 100 KB, Compress PDF turns each page into an optimised image. The text stays readable but is no longer selectable. If you need selectable text, use a larger target size or compress fewer pages.
Why does PDF to Word or Compare PDF find no text?
Scanned PDFs are pictures of paper and have no text layer. These tools only work with PDFs that contain real text, such as documents exported from Word.
Where is my document saved in the Document Editor?
Drafts are saved only in your browser on this device (local storage). Clearing browser data removes them, so download a Word or PDF copy to keep your work safe.
Are the calculator results financial advice?
No. EMI, GST, SIP and other calculators give estimates for information only. Check final figures with your bank, a tax professional or a qualified financial adviser.
How can I report a problem or request a tool?
