About SimplyToolbox
Free online tools that respect your time and your privacy.
Our mission
SimplyToolbox exists to solve a simple, everyday frustration: needing a quick tool — to compress an image, merge a couple of PDFs, format some JSON, generate a QR code, or count the words in an essay — and being forced to install bloated software, create an account, sit through pop-ups, or hand over a file to a server you do not trust. We believe small, practical tasks should be instant, free, and private. So we built a single home for more than 90 carefully made utilities that just work, right in your browser.
How the tools work
The large majority of our tools run entirely on your own device using modern browser technology such as JavaScript, the Canvas API, and WebAssembly. When you compress an image, edit a PDF, convert a video to a GIF, or hash a password, the file is processed locally and never uploaded to us. That means your documents, photos, and personal data stay on your computer — which is faster, works offline for many tools, and is fundamentally more private than uploading to a cloud service.
A small number of tools genuinely need the internet to function — for example live currency exchange rates, DNS and WHOIS lookups, or fetching a web page for an Open Graph preview. For those, we send only the minimum information required (such as a domain name or a URL), never your private files. We explain exactly what happens on each tool page and in our Privacy Policy.
What you will find here
Our toolbox spans fifteen categories, including image and photo tools, video and audio converters, PDF editing, developer utilities (JSON, Base64, hashing, regex, and more), text and writing helpers, everyday calculators, color and CSS generators, QR code and barcode tools, network lookups, SEO helpers, and a few fun extras. We also publish a blog with practical, jargon-free guides that explain how to get the most out of the tools and the concepts behind them.
Why it is free
Every tool on SimplyToolbox is completely free, with no sign-up, no trial, and no hidden paywall. We keep the lights on with unobtrusive advertising rather than by charging you or selling your data. We are committed to keeping ads tasteful and to never letting them get in the way of the tool you came to use. If a feature can be done privately in your browser, that is always how we build it.
