A growing drawer of free tools - PDF, images, QR codes, passwords and more. Most run entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your device. A few newer ones use AI and are clearly labeled. No sign-up, no ads.
We don't advertise. If a tool here helped, a quick review tells the next person it's safe to trust.
That review box is Trustpilot's official widget, and there's a StartupBar badge on this page too. Those are the only third parties here and can set a cookie. Most tools still run entirely in your browser and call no server; the AI ones (like the card reader) are labeled where they send anything out.
View, save, annotate, fill forms, reorder & rotate pages, turn images into PDFs. All in the browser.
Enter the password on a locked bank statement or tax PDF and download an unlocked copy. Runs in your browser, never uploaded.
Paste JSON to instantly format, validate, and minify it. No server, no account, stays in your tab.
Compare two blocks of text or code, side-by-side or unified. Ignore whitespace or case, share by a link no server sees, export a .diff. No upload.
Type or paste any URL or text, get a static QR code. No redirect server, no tracking, no watermark.
Strong random passwords or XKCD-style passphrases. Cryptographically random, never sent anywhere.
Convert SVG to PNG or JPEG at any size. Transparent, white, or custom background. No upload.
Paste SQL to see the rows it adds as an Excel/CSV table, plus plain notes on what it deletes or changes. No upload.
Resize or compress images and animated GIFs. Set exact pixels or a target file size. No upload, no watermark.
Snap or upload a business card and save it as a contact. Editable, exports vCard & CSV. * uses a third-party AI service to read the card.
Drop an image and pull its dominant colors as HEX and RGB. Click to copy a swatch or the whole palette. No upload.
Paste a screenshot to identify the fonts, with the closest Microsoft Office and free Google Fonts match. * uses a third-party AI service to read the image.
Convert audio to MP3 or WAV and trim a clip. Handles m4a, aac, ogg, opus, flac and more. All in the browser, no upload.
Live word and character counts (with and without spaces), sentences, reading time, and a character-limit check. Nothing uploaded.
Image compressor, converter, and more. Got an idea? Send it over.
I got tired of paying $9 a month to merge two PDFs, or $15 to crop a JPG, or making yet another account to convert one file once. So I'm building the little utilities I keep needing, and putting them here. Always free, no sign-up, no ads.
All I ask: if one of these saves you a minute, tell someone. Or read why I'm doing this, or see how techtuate stacks up vs. the paid PDF tools.

These tools stay free for everyone if more people know they exist. Five things you can do in under 30 seconds:
The one who pays $9/mo for a "PDF Pro" app. They'll thank you.
X, BlueSky, LinkedIn, Mastodon, a Discord, wherever you hang out online.
"Hey, here's a free thing that does X." Slack, Teams, group chat, all good.
Repeat visitors are the best marketing. New tools land every few weeks.
Hacker News, Reddit (r/InternetIsBeautiful, r/webdev), Product Hunt, whatever fits.
