A user may arrive to resize an image, clean a CSV file, convert structured data, generate a QR code, validate a document, or run another narrow transformation. The technical challenge is different from a conventional content site: each visit performs work.</p> <p>That work can become expensive quickly if every request uploads a file, allocates server memory, writes temporary objects, invokes a database, and retains artifacts after the user leaves. An ad-supported free tier makes this pressure more visible because revenue per visit is usually small compared with the cost of heavy compute or storage.</p>
