Frequently asked questions
Is Posterize Image free to use?
Yes. Posterize Image is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Posterize Image upload your image to a server?
No. Posterize Image processes your image inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Posterize Image.
Do I need to install anything to use Posterize Image?
No installation is needed. Posterize Image runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Posterize Image on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Posterize Image interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your image when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Posterize Image keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
