Free file tools that work in your browser

ActuallyFreeTools is a free collection of 50 online tools for PDFs, images, video, audio, spreadsheets and business documents. Every tool runs inside your web browser, so files are processed on your own device and never uploaded, and there are no daily limits, watermarks or accounts.

Questions people ask

What is ActuallyFreeTools?

How can it be free with no limits?

Because your own device does the work, there are no servers processing files and nothing to meter. The running cost is only the website itself.

Is it safe for confidential documents?

Files are opened by JavaScript in your browser tab and are never sent to ActuallyFreeTools. Some heavier tools download a processing engine (for example OCR or video) the first time, but your files themselves stay on your device.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Every tool works in a modern mobile browser. Very large files and video work best on a laptop or desktop, which has more memory.
