41 Free Online Tools for Images, PDFs, Video, Audio, and Everyday Work

 I’m building Vamriko, a collection of free online tools for everyday digital tasks.

https://www.vamriko.com/

Alongside the developer tools collection, I’ve been working on utilities for images, PDF documents, file conversion, video, audio, writing, and everyday calculations.

This guide introduces 41 tools across eight categories: what they do, when you might use them, and how several of them can fit into the same workflow.

If you need to prepare an image, organize a PDF, extract audio, or handle a quick calculation, the goal is to help you find the right tool without searching through unrelated applications.

1. Image Tools — 10 Utilities

These tools cover image preparation, editing, optimization, and text extraction.

1. Image Compressor

https://www.vamriko.com/image-compressor/index.html

Reduce image file size with adjustable JPG and WebP quality settings. Supported input formats include JPG, PNG, and WebP.

Use it to prepare screenshots, blog illustrations, or other website images. Compare the compressed result with the original, especially around small text and detailed edges.

2. Image Resizer

https://www.vamriko.com/image-resizer/index.html

Resize images to specific dimensions.

This is useful when a picture needs to fit a particular layout, such as a blog illustration or product image. Resizing changes image dimensions, while compression addresses file size; some tasks benefit from both.

3. Social Media Image Studio

https://www.vamriko.com/social-media-image-studio/index.html

Resize, crop, and export an image for platforms including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Pinterest.

Use it to adapt the same visual for different publishing destinations. Review each crop to keep important text and subjects within the visible area.

4. Image to Text — OCR

https://www.vamriko.com/image-to-text/index.html

Extract Arabic and English text from images.

Use it to turn a screenshot or photographed passage into editable text. Proofread the output, particularly names, numbers, and punctuation.

5. Image Watermark Tool

https://www.vamriko.com/image-watermark/index.html

Add a visible text watermark to an image.

Place a name, website address, or label on a picture before sharing it. Check the placement and size so the watermark does not obscure the content.

6. Background Remover

https://www.vamriko.com/background-remover/index.html

Remove a simple solid-color background locally.

This tool focuses on straightforward backgrounds. It is not presented as a universal solution for removing complex photographic backgrounds.

7. Image Upscaler

https://www.vamriko.com/image-upscaler/index.html

Increase image dimensions locally by up to four times.

Use it when you need a larger image output. Inspect the result at its intended display size, since increasing dimensions does not necessarily restore missing detail.

8. Favicon Generator

https://www.vamriko.com/favicon-generator/index.html

Generate favicon assets from an image.

This is useful when preparing a website’s visual identity. Start with a simple, recognizable graphic and check how it looks at small sizes.

9. Image Cropper

https://www.vamriko.com/image-cropper/index.html

Crop an image and download the result.

Remove unwanted edges, focus on a subject, or refine the composition before resizing or publishing.

10. Image Metadata Remover

https://www.vamriko.com/image-metadata-remover/index.html

Inspect image tags and remove supported EXIF, GPS, and text metadata locally.

Verify the result before downloading. Supported metadata removal should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every possible metadata field in every file format is handled.

2. PDF Tools — 10 Utilities

These tools help combine documents, organize pages, convert formats, and prepare PDFs for sharing.

11. PDF Merger

https://www.vamriko.com/merge-pdf/index.html

Combine multiple PDF files into one document.

Use it to bring together a report and its supporting documents, for example. Check the final page order before sharing the merged file.

12. PDF Watermark

https://www.vamriko.com/pdf-watermark/index.html

Add text or logo watermarks to PDF pages locally.

Label a document as a draft or add visible branding. Review the output to make sure the watermark does not interfere with readability.

13. Add Page Numbers to PDF

https://www.vamriko.com/add-page-numbers-pdf/index.html

Add custom page numbers to a PDF locally.

This is particularly useful after combining several documents. Finalize the page sequence first, then add numbering.

14. Organize PDF Pages

https://www.vamriko.com/organize-pdf/index.html

Reorder, rotate, and delete PDF pages locally.

Use it to remove unnecessary pages, correct incorrectly oriented scans, or rearrange sections into a more useful order.

15. Rotate PDF

https://www.vamriko.com/rotate-pdf/index.html

Fix PDF page orientation and download the result locally.

Choose this focused tool when the main issue is a sideways page rather than the structure of the entire document.

16. JPG & PNG to PDF Converter

https://www.vamriko.com/image-to-pdf/index.html

Turn images into a downloadable PDF.

For example, collect photographed notes or scanned images into one document. Review the image order and readability in the exported PDF.

17. PDF to JPG Converter

https://www.vamriko.com/pdf-to-jpg/index.html

Use it when you need a page as an image for a presentation, illustration, or workflow that does not accept PDF files.

18. PDF Splitter

https://www.vamriko.com/split-pdf/index.html

Split a PDF into individual pages or selected page ranges.

Extract the relevant section of a larger document instead of sending the entire file.

19. PDF Compressor

https://www.vamriko.com/pdf-compress/index.html

Reduce PDF file size locally.

Use it when preparing a document for a file-size limit. Compare both output size and readability before choosing the compressed version.

20. PDF to Word Converter

https://www.vamriko.com/pdf-to-word/index.html

Convert PDF files into editable Word DOCX documents locally.

Use the result as a starting point for revisions. Review the converted text, layout, and formatting before continuing your edits.

3. Conversion and Photo Preparation — 4 Utilities

This section covers image format conversion and printable identity-photo layouts.

21. Image Converter

https://www.vamriko.com/image-converter/index.html

Convert images between JPG, PNG, and WebP.

Use it when a publishing destination or editing workflow requires a particular image format. Check the exported result before replacing your original.

22. Passport Photos

https://www.vamriko.com/passport-photo-maker/index.html

Create passport, visa, and ID photo layouts using supported sizes, with printable A4 PDF output.

The tool helps with sizing and layout preparation. Check the current requirements of the relevant passport office, embassy, or other authority before submitting a photo. A prepared layout does not guarantee official acceptance.

23. HEIC to JPG Converter

https://www.vamriko.com/heic-to-jpg/index.html

Convert supported HEIC and HEIF photos to JPG locally.

Adjust JPEG quality and preview the result before downloading. This is useful when a destination accepts JPG but does not support the original photo format.

26. Video Trimmer

https://www.vamriko.com/video-trimmer/index.html

Trim MP4 videos to keep the section you need.

Remove an unnecessary opening or ending, or prepare a shorter clip from a longer recording. Preview the beginning and end of the exported result.

Extract audio from a video locally.

Use it when you need the audio portion of your own recording without retaining the video.

Use it when preparing an article, editing a short description, or checking text against a length requirement.

  3. Check the final dimensions and file size.
  4. Preview the image before posting.

Processing, Privacy, and Output Checks

Several tools in this collection are described as processing files locally. That should not be interpreted as a promise that every feature works offline or that the entire website makes no network requests.

Check the instructions on the individual tool page, especially before working with sensitive files.

For any conversion or editing task:

  • Keep a separate copy of the original.
  • Start with a small sample when trying an unfamiliar tool.
  • Check that your input format is supported.
  • Review the output before sharing or replacing your source file.
  • Do not include confidential documents or credentials in public issue reports.

I’m continuing to improve Vamriko and would appreciate specific feedback from people trying the tools.

Which tool would you use, and what would make it more useful?

If something does not work as expected, sharing the tool name, browser, and steps to reproduce the issue—without including confidential files—would help me investigate.
