Free Online Tools for Everyday Jobs

The everyday tools handle jobs that come up away from websites and code: working out a percentage, picking a name at random, making a password, saving a video, or getting a photo or PDF into the format a form or website asks for.

Five of them deal with numbers, dates, names and passwords. The Percentage Calculator puts six calculators on one page, including percentage increase and decrease, discounts and reverse percentages, and shows the formula behind each answer. The EMI Calculator works out the monthly payment on a loan, the total interest and a year by year schedule, and the Age Calculator gives an exact age in years, months and days on any date, which helps with form cut-off dates. Spin the Wheel picks one entry from a list at random and can drop each winner as it goes, which suits classrooms and giveaways. The Password Generator makes random passwords or word-based passphrases with the browser's secure random generator.

Nine work with images:

• The Image Converter changes an image from one format to another, such as WebP to JPG, PNG to WebP or SVG to ICO.
• HEIC to JPG converts iPhone photos so that Windows and websites that reject HEIC can open them.
• The Image Resizer changes the pixel size of one image or a batch, with presets for Instagram, YouTube and link previews.
• The Image Compressor makes JPG, PNG and WebP files smaller without changing their pixel size.
• Compress Image to KB brings a photo under an exact limit such as 20 KB or 50 KB, with an optional minimum and pixel size, for exam and job forms.
• The Website Image Extractor lists every image on a web page, from the logo and favicon to CSS backgrounds, ready to download in one ZIP.
• The Background Remover cuts a person out of a photo with an AI model that runs in your browser, for a transparent PNG or a new background.
• The Passport Photo Maker turns a phone photo into a 35 × 45 mm or 2 × 2 inch photo with a white background and the head sized to the rules, ready to upload or print.
• Image to Text copies the text out of screenshots, photos and scans in 12 languages, including Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil.

Seven work with PDFs:

• JPG to PDF places images on PDF pages, one image per page, in the order you set, and PDF to JPG turns pages back into images at up to 300 DPI.
• Merge PDF combines PDF files and can take only some pages from each, and Split PDF pulls pages out or cuts a file into parts.
• Organize PDF rotates, removes and reorders pages with a preview of each.
• Compress PDF shrinks the photos and scans inside a PDF so it fits an email or upload limit, while text stays sharp.
• Sign PDF places a drawn, typed or photographed signature on any page, with the date.

Two tools save online video. The YouTube Video Downloader lists every quality a video was uploaded in, up to 4K or 8K, and can save the audio alone as MP3 or M4A. The Instagram Video Downloader does the same for public Reels and video posts, up to 1080p. Both send the link to the site's server, which fetches the video and hands you the file. The Website Image Extractor also works through the server, because it has to fetch the web page you give it.

Three more work with video files already on your device. Video to MP3 saves the sound of a video, Video to GIF turns a short clip into a looping GIF, and Compress Video shrinks a video to fit an email or upload limit, down to a target size in MB.

Everything else here runs in the browser. The file tools read your files on your device and never upload them, so they are safe to use with scanned ID cards, payslips and bank statements.

These free online tools need no app and no account, and they add no watermark to what you make. They work the same on a phone as on a laptop, which matters most for the PDF tools and image tools: a common job is turning phone photos of a document into one PDF for an upload form, then checking the file is small enough.

For size limits on uploads, see the guide on compressing an image to under 200 KB. For passwords, the Password Generator page explains how long a password needs to be and when a passphrase is easier.
