Frequently Asked Questions
Is ShotEdit free to use?
The browser-based tools — screenshot editing, compression, rounded corners, and format conversion — are completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark. The AI tools run on paid servers: you get free runs to try them, after which they draw from a one-time credit pack.
Do I need to upload my photos to use ShotEdit?
For most tools, no. Screenshot editing, compression, rounded corners, and format conversion all run directly in your browser, so those files never leave your device. The AI tools are the exception: they upload your image over an encrypted connection and delete it as soon as the job finishes. Every tool says which mode it uses right above its upload area.
What image formats does ShotEdit support?
ShotEdit supports popular image formats including JPG, PNG, JPEG, WEBP, and AVIF. You can also convert between different formats.
Is my data safe when using ShotEdit?
Yes. Browser-based tools never send your images anywhere — there is no upload at all. For the AI tools that do need a server, the transfer is encrypted, the file is deleted as soon as processing completes, and your photos are never used for anything else.
