The uploadis the slowpart.

Every other online tool sends your file to a server, queues it, and sends it back. We removed those three steps. Zero bytes leave this machine.

Built on the platform

Standards your browser already ships — no plugin, no runtime to install

  • WebAssembly

    Near-native speed for codecs and compression, in the tab

  • Canvas 2D

    Decodes, resizes, crops and re-encodes every image

  • Web Crypto

    Hashes and random values from the platform, not a library

  • File API

    Reads from your disk and writes back — without an upload

Not a carousel of screenshots. Type in the box and the output changes on the keystroke, computed by your own browser. Watch the request counter while you do it.

This is the product, not a picture of it

The panel beside this paragraph is the real word counter, running in your browser right now. Edit the text and the figures move as you type — and the request counter stays at zero, because there is nothing to send.

All 39 tools work this way. Open your browser’s network tab and use one; you will watch it do nothing.

The difference

What the upload actually costs you

Sending a file to a server is not one inconvenience, it is seven. The size cap, the queue, the account, the watermark and the retained copy are all downstream of that single decision.

We did not fix them one at a time. We removed the step they all come from.

How it works, and what it trades away

What follows from it

Six things that stop being problems

None of these is a feature we added. Each is something that simply does not arise once the file stops travelling.

No queue, ever

Nothing is shared, so a busy Tuesday runs at the same speed as a quiet Sunday. There is no worker pool to be behind.

No size cap

The limit is your own memory, not a 50MB rule written to protect somebody's bandwidth bill. A 50-megapixel photograph is fine.

Works on a plane

Loaded once, every tool keeps working with the connection off. There was never a request to lose.

Nothing to leak

We hold no copy of your file — so there is none to lose in a breach, none to hand over on request, and none in a backup a year from now.

No account wall

No sign-up, no email, no verification step between you and a result. Open the page and work.

No watermark

On any plan, on any output. The free tier is not a demo of a better tier you have not paid for.

There is a cost too, and we would rather you heard it from us: what local processing trades away.

The method

How it stays private

Most online tools upload your file to a server, process it there and hand it back. That is a copy of your file on someone else’s disk, and a promise about what happens to it. We removed the promise by removing the upload.

It runs on your machine

Every tool here is JavaScript and WebAssembly executing in your own browser tab. The file is read from your disk, transformed, and written back — all locally.

Check it yourself

Open any tool, let the page finish loading, then turn off your Wi-Fi and use it. It still works, because there was never a request to make.

Nothing to leak

We hold no copy of your file, so there is none to lose, none to hand over, and none sitting in a backup somewhere a year from now.

Before you ask

The four we get most

Including the one about the catch, which there genuinely is one of.

All questions
Is it actually free, or free-until-it-isn't?
Actually free. All 39 tools, unlimited, no account, no card, no expiry. They run on your machine, so metering them would be an artificial limit rather than a real one.
How do I know my file is not uploaded?
Check it. Load any tool, turn off your wifi, and use it — it still works. Or open your browser's network tab and watch nothing happen. That is a stronger guarantee than any policy we could write.
What is the catch?
Speed depends on your device, very large files are limited by your own memory, and a crashed tab loses the result because we hold no copy. Those are the real trade-offs and we would rather state them than have you discover them.
Who is behind it?
Tekhx, a small software studio. Paid plans fund it. It used to be advertising, and we removed that script because it contradicted everything else on this page.

Nothing to install. Nothing to sign up for.

Pick a tool and use it. If it turns out not to be what you needed, you have lost a click rather than an account.
