Frequently asked questions
Is String Escape free to use?
Yes. String Escape is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does String Escape upload your file to a server?
No. String Escape processes your file 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 String Escape.
Do I need to install anything to use String Escape?
No installation is needed. String Escape runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use String Escape on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The String Escape interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your file when I close the tab?
It is discarded. String Escape keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
