About HandyTools

HandyTools is a collection of free, browser-based utilities for everyday image and PDF tasks: compressing photos, converting formats, merging and splitting PDF documents, and more.

Privacy first, by architecture

Every tool on this site runs entirely inside your web browser using modern web technologies (HTML5 canvas, WebAssembly, the open-source pdf.js and pdf-lib libraries). There is no upload step: your files are read locally, processed locally, and the results are saved locally. We could not see your files even if we wanted to — the site is served as static pages with no processing servers behind it.

Free, supported by ads

The tools are free to use with no accounts, trials or watermarks. The site is supported by unobtrusive advertising, which covers hosting and development costs.
