What this directory is

156 free tools for the small jobs that interrupt real work: a PDF that needs splitting before you can email it, an image too large for an upload form, a recharge plan you cannot compare, a JSON blob you need to read. Each one does a single job on one screen. There is no account, no trial, and no upgrade prompt.

Most of them never send your file anywhere. The work happens in your browser using the same JavaScript that draws the page, so a scanned signature or a bank statement stays on your machine even while the tool is processing it. The exceptions are the AI text tools, which have to call a model to work, and a handful of network checks (ping, port scanning) that need a server to reach the target for you. Those are labelled on their own pages rather than buried in a policy.

Browse by category

PDF Tools (13 tools)
Merge, split, compress, convert, and edit PDFs. The heavy lifting happens in the page, so contracts and statements are not uploaded anywhere.
Image Tools (22 tools)
Compress, convert, resize, and strip metadata from images. Useful when a form rejects your file or a photo carries GPS coordinates you did not mean to share.
Creator Tools (16 tools)
Thumbnail grabbers, hashtag and username generators, caption and script helpers for people publishing on YouTube, Instagram, and Reels.
Fun & Viral (6 tools)
Roast generators, translators, and other throwaway toys. No practical purpose, which is the point.
Finance Tools (32 tools)
Calculators built for Indian household money: prepaid recharge cycles, milk and maid bills, electricity, rent splits, SIP returns, and loan pressure.
AI Text Tools (10 tools)
Rewriting, summarising, humanising, and drafting. These call a model, so they are the one group that sends text off-device.
IT Tools (41 tools)
Developer and network utilities: JSON and regex work, hashing, encoding, UUIDs, ping and port checks, VRAM and API cost estimation.
Student Tools (10 tools)
Attendance, CGPA, percentage, and exam-planning maths that is annoying to do by hand.
Text Tools (6 tools)
Case conversion, word and character counting, duplicate removal, and placeholder text.

Why browser-based tools behave differently

A conventional online converter uploads your file, processes it on a server, and hands back a download. That is why those sites need an account above a certain file size, and why their privacy policies talk about retention windows. When the same work runs locally there is no upload step to rate-limit, so file size is bounded by your own memory rather than someone's free tier, and there is no copy of your document sitting on a server waiting to be deleted.

The trade-off is real and worth knowing. Local processing uses your CPU, so a large PDF or a batch of photos is slower on a phone than on a laptop, and a tool that needs a model or a network route cannot run this way at all. That is the honest split: file and text manipulation stays local, anything needing outside intelligence or reachability does not.

Common questions

Do I need to sign up to use these tools?

No. There is no account system at all, so there is nothing to sign up for and no login wall to hit.

Are the tools free, or free until a limit?

Free, with no per-day cap on the browser-based tools since running them costs us nothing. The site is funded by ads on these pages.

Which tools send my data somewhere?

The AI text tools, and network utilities that have to reach an external host such as ping and port checks. Everything else, including all the PDF, image, and calculator work, runs in your browser.

Is there a file size limit?

Not one we impose. The practical ceiling is your device's memory, which is why a very large PDF may struggle on an older phone but be fine on a desktop.

Do these tools work on mobile?

Yes, every tool is built for small screens too. Heavy image and PDF jobs are slower on a phone because the processing is happening on that phone.
