Free online file tools that respect your privacy
FileTools is a collection of free online tools for the everyday jobs that nobody wants to install software for: converting HEIC photos from an iPhone to JPG, compressing images and PDFs so they fit an upload limit, resizing pictures for Instagram, merging and splitting PDF files, turning a video into a GIF, or generating a QR code. Every tool works in your browser, which means your files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to a server.
Why it matters that nothing is uploaded
Most popular converters send your photos, contracts and videos to a remote computer, keep them for a while, and often add limits, watermarks or a paywall at the end. FileTools uses modern browser technology (Canvas, WebAssembly and JavaScript) to do the same work locally. That makes it faster, safer for sensitive documents such as ID scans, and unlimited: there is no signup and no daily quota.
