about
What is techtuate?
Techtuate is a free suite of small, single-purpose web tools: a PDF editor, image and audio converters, a QR code generator, a password generator, a business card reader, a font finder, a word counter and more.
Most of them run entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your device. A couple use AI to read an image, and they say so on the page. No accounts, no sign-up and no ads. Here is why it's free, and how it compares to the paid tools.
"Techtuate" is a brand name, not a typo.
questions people ask
Are these tools really free?
Yes. No account, no card, no trial and no ads. Most of the tools run entirely in your browser, so they cost almost nothing to run and there is nothing to charge you for.
Do my files get uploaded?
Not for the tools marked stays on device. Your browser opens and processes the file, and it never leaves the tab. The two tools that read with AI, the business card reader and the font finder, send only the image you give them to a labeled AI service to read it (Cloudflare Workers AI for the card reader, Google Gemini for the font finder). We don't store the image.
Is there a free PDF editor with no sign-up?
Yes. The techtuate PDF editor annotates, fills forms, reorders and rotates pages and shrinks files, with no account and no watermark. It runs in your browser, so the PDF stays on your device.
Why is it called techtuate?
It is a brand name, not a misspelling of another word.
“I got tired of paying $9 a month to merge two PDFs.”
So I started building the little utilities I kept needing and put them here. They stay free because they cost almost nothing to run (here's why). The only thing I ask: if one saves you a minute, pass it on.
