I built 55 free file tools that work 100% in the browser (zero server uploads)


 I built FixMyFile — a free platform with 55+ tools for PDFs, images, documents, and more.

The key difference from iLovePDF/SmallPDF: everything runs in your browser. No files ever get uploaded to any server.

Tools include:

  • PDF: merge, split, compress, convert to Word/Excel/PPT, sign, watermark
  • Image: AI background remover, resize, compress, passport photo maker
  • OCR: extract text from images in 50+ languages
  • Document Formatter: auto-fix Word docs (APA, IEEE, corporate styles)
  • Scan to PDF: camera scanner with edge detection + perspective correction

Tech Stack:

  • Next.js 16 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS
  • pdf-lib for PDF manipulation
  • Tesseract.js for OCR
  • @imgly/background-removal for AI BG removal
  • Deployed on Vercel (zero cost)

Try it: fixmyfile.vercel.app

Would love feedback — what tools should I add next?

How did you handle large file processing in the browser without running into memory issues? I'd love to swap ideas on optimizing browser-based file tools.
