Tools that do the work without taking your files
Every tool here runs inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded, there is no account, and nothing is watermarked. This page explains how that works and why we built it that way.

The problem we kept running into
Almost every free tool online works the same way. You hand over your file, it goes to a server somewhere, something happens to it, and a download link comes back. For a holiday photo that is fine.
It is less fine for the things people actually convert. Signed contracts. Bank statements. Payslips. Medical letters. Passport scans for a visa application. Recorded meetings where colleagues spoke freely. Photographs of children.
All of that ends up sitting on hardware nobody outside the company can inspect, for a period set by a policy almost nobody reads, at an organisation you found through a search result ten minutes earlier. There is a particular irony in uploading a document to a stranger in order to remove the page you considered too private to send.
Browsers have quietly become capable enough that none of it is necessary. So we stopped uploading.
What we have decided not to do
Most of these decisions cost us something. They are here because a tool you cannot trust is not worth using.
We do not take your files
Not to a server, not for a moment, not to make anything faster. If a tool cannot be built without uploading, it does not go on the site.
No accounts, no watermarks, no daily limits
There is nothing to sign up for and no free tier designed to run out. We have no server bill that grows with your usage, so there is nothing to ration.
We say what a tool cannot do
Formats that will not open, quality that will be lost, jobs your phone will struggle with. Every limit is on the page before you start rather than discovered afterwards.
We do not invent numbers
No guaranteed scores, no invented accuracy percentages, no claims about software we have never seen. Where a promise cannot be kept honestly, we explain why instead of making it.
What is on the site
Five sets of tools, each one built the same way and each one running entirely on your own machine.
Questions about these tools
The questions people ask once they realise nothing is being uploaded.
Do not take our word for it. Open your browser developer tools, switch to the network panel, and use any tool on the site. You will see the open source library it needs come down, and you will see nothing go up. A second check is even simpler: load a tool page, switch your connection off entirely, and use it. Most of them carry on working, which would be impossible if a server were involved.
Advertising on the pages, and nothing else. We do not sell files, sell data we do not have, or hold a paid tier back from you. There is no upsell inside the tools because there is no server cost that scales with your usage. Your device does the work.
Because of what people actually put through these things. Contracts, payslips, medical letters, passport scans, recorded meetings, photographs of children. The ordinary approach is to upload all of it to a company found through a search result, where it sits on hardware nobody can inspect, under a policy almost nobody reads. Doing the work locally removes that question rather than asking you to trust an answer.
There are real ones and we would rather say them here. Your device does the work, so its memory is the ceiling: a phone manages less than a laptop. Some formats will not open at all, because browsers do not include decoders for them. A few tools have to download a model or an engine on first use. And a couple of jobs, such as trimming video, take as long as the clip because of how they have to be done without a server. Every tool that has one of these limits states it on its own page.
A few tools save your draft to your own device so a refresh does not lose your work, which is browser storage rather than a server, and clearing it genuinely clears it. Beyond that, the site keeps ordinary web analytics about pages, not about files, because there are no files for us to see.
Yes, and the suggestions shape what gets built next. The useful ones describe the problem rather than the tool: what you were trying to do, what got in the way, and what you ended up doing instead.
