About

Each tool runs in the browser, so files you convert or compress stay on your device instead of being uploaded to a server. Files processed by one tool are available in other open tabs, so you can compress a PDF and then open the merge tool without re-uploading it. The Workflow Builder lets you chain steps such as background removal, resizing and WebP conversion on a canvas, then run them on a dropped file in one click. QR codes can be static or dynamic, with shape, color, logo and frame options.

Key Features

Compress JPG, PNG and WebP images in batches with a quality slider
Merge, split and reorder PDFs, and convert PDF pages to images
Trim, compress and convert videos, or turn clips into GIFs
Chain tools into visual workflows that run on a dropped file
Create static or dynamic QR codes with custom shapes and colors

Use Cases

Shrinking a batch of phone photos from several MB each to under 1 MB before sending them by email
Merging a report, an appendix and scanned pages into one PDF without installing software
Generating a QR code for a cafe menu or event page, with a dynamic option to change the link later

From the founder

Who it's for

“Freelancers, students and small teams who handle files all day: an iPhone photo that has to become a JPG, a PDF too heavy for an email, a video to shrink before sending. They usually bounce between five ad-filled sites and upload private documents to servers they know nothing about.”

About me

“I'm a solo developer in France. I kept uploading contracts and family photos to random converters just to change a format, and it felt wrong. So I built one site where the processing runs in the browser (WebAssembly, canvas, workers), with a dashboard to keep tools open in tabs and a visual workflow builder to chain them. It's free to use, with a Pro plan for heavy users, in English, French and Spanish.”
