File tools that run in your browser
Every tool on this site processes your files locally on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and there is no file size cap or account to create.
No tool matches that. Try a format name, like webp or pdf.

All guidesHow these tools work
Every tool on this page is a web page that does the work itself. When you drop a file in, the browser reads it into memory, processes it with the same engines it uses to display images and PDFs — Canvas, WebCodecs, WebAssembly — and hands you the result. No copy of your file is sent anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to be sent.
You can check that claim in about ten seconds: open any tool, wait for the page to finish loading, then turn off your Wi-Fi and drop a file in. It still works. Nothing on this site needs a network connection once the page is open, and the browser's own developer tools will confirm that no request carries your file.
What that changes in practice
- No file size cap. Server-based tools cap uploads because bandwidth costs them money. The limit here is your device's memory, which for a phone is around a few hundred megabytes and for a laptop is comfortably more.
- No queue and no daily quota. Nothing is waiting behind other people's jobs, so there is no “three tasks per hour” and no account to create.
- Documents stay private. Passports, bank statements, contracts and medical scans never leave your device, which matters more than the file size limit for most of the people who use these tools.
- The first load is bigger. A tool that needs a specialist encoder — AVIF, GIF, PDF unlocking — downloads it once, which is why those pages take a moment the first time and are instant afterwards.
What it cannot do
Being honest about the edges: there is no OCR here, so text inside a scanned page stays a picture. Video work is limited to what a browser can encode in reasonable time. Very large files on an old phone will run out of memory, and the tool will say so rather than silently producing a broken result. And no image tool of any kind can recover detail that compression has already discarded — upscaling invents pixels, it does not restore them.
Where to start
If you are here because an upload form rejected your file, the target-size compressors are the fastest route. If you are preparing a document to send, the PDF tools merge, split, sign and shrink without changing the text inside. And if you would rather understand the problem before picking a tool, the guides explain what actually makes a file large, with measurements rather than rules of thumb.
