63 Free Tools I Built So You Don't Have to Pay

Toollium — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:42:47 +0000

The problem

Every "free" PDF or writing tool online eventually hits you with the same wall: a watermark, a daily limit, a forced sign-up, or a paywall right when you actually need the feature. iLovePDF wants ~$8/month. QuillBot Premium runs up to ~$20/month. Grammarly Pro is ~$12/month. Remove.bg charges per image. None of that is unreasonable for a business — but for a one-off task (convert a PDF, fix a paragraph, cut a background), it's a lot of friction.

So I built Toollium — a single site with 63 free tools that run entirely in the browser. No account, no watermark, no daily cap.

What's actually in it

The tools are grouped into a few categories:

📄 PDF conversion & utilities
PDF ↔ Word, JPG ↔ PDF, HTML to PDF, Excel to PDF, plus compress, merge, split, rotate, and unlock.

🤖 AI writing
An AI paraphraser (5 styles, no word cap — QuillBot's free tier stops at 125 words), a grammar checker powered by LanguageTool, an AI summarizer, an AI cover letter generator, and an AI email writer.

🖼️ Image tools
A background remover that runs a WebAssembly AI model client-side (remove.bg charges per image for this), plus a compressor, resizer, format converter, SVG-to-PNG, crop tool, and signature maker.

⚡ Developer utilities
JSON formatter, regex tester, UUID generator, JWT decoder, Markdown-to-HTML, text diff checker, favicon generator, password generator, and QR code generator.

💰 Finance & everyday calculators
Mortgage, debt payoff, auto loan, compound interest, rent-vs-buy, salary-to-hourly, sales tax, EMI, plus BMI and calorie calculators.

📋 CV Builder
Upload a photo, pick from 4 templates, let AI draft your summary and bullet points, export an ATS-friendly PDF.

The part I actually care about: privacy

This is the design constraint that shaped everything else — processing happens in your browser, not on a server. PDFs aren't uploaded anywhere to be converted; the background remover's AI model runs client-side via WebAssembly. Nothing is stored, so there's nothing to leak, nothing to log, and nothing to delete later.

That's also why it can stay free — there's no server-side compute cost per file, so there's no meter to run.

Why free, no catch

I'm not running a freemium funnel here — there's no paid tier waiting behind a feature flag. The honest answer is that the browser-based architecture makes marginal cost per user close to zero, so it doesn't need one.

Try it

If you try it and hit something rough — a tool that misbehaves, a format it doesn't handle, a feature you wish existed — I'd genuinely like to hear about it in the comments. This is a small, actively-worked-on project, not a finished product I'm walking away from.

I Built 45+ Free Tools That Run Entirely in Your Browser — Here's Why

Like a lot of people, I got tired of "free" online tools that:

Watermark your files unless you pay
Require sign-up just to convert a PDF
Upload your files to a server you know nothing about

So I built Toollium — a collection of 45+ tools that run entirely in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

What's included

PDF Convert — PDF ↔ Word, merge, split, compress
AI Image Tools — background removal, compression
CV Builder — AI-assisted resume writing
Finance Calculators — mortgage, compound interest, debt payoff, and more

No account. No watermark. No catch.
