Your files stay on your device
PDFs are merged with pdf-lib and photos are cropped with the Canvas API, inside your tab. There is no upload step, so there's no copy of your passport scan sitting on someone's server afterwards.
PDF, photo and resume tools that never upload your files
Merge a PDF, make a passport photo or check your resume against a job ad. It all runs in this browser tab, so your files stay on your computer. No account, no watermark.

What's different about DocuTools
Most free converters upload your file, process it on their server and send it back. DocuTools does the work in your browser instead. That one choice explains most of what's good about the site, and a couple of its limits.
Quick for everyday files
Without an upload, small jobs finish almost as soon as you click. The catch is that your device does the work: a 300-page scan on an old phone is slow, and Remove Background needs a one-time 100 MB download.
Free, without a catch
No subscription, no account, no watermark. Hosting will be paid for with ads shown beside the tools, never by locking a feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
The things people ask us most
Yes. There's no paid tier behind a "Pro" button, no account to create, and nothing gets stamped on the files you download.
No. The tools run inside your browser tab, on your device. If you'd rather check than take our word for it, press F12, open the Network tab and merge a couple of PDFs: you'll see the page's own scripts load, but no request carries your file. One thing worth knowing: the first time you use Remove Background, it downloads its AI model (about 100 MB) from IMG.LY, the company behind the library. Your image still stays on your device.
PDF, Word (.docx), plain text, JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and MP4, depending on the tool. Each tool page says what it takes. Old .doc files from Word 97-2003 don't work, so open them in Word or Google Docs and save as .docx first.
No. Open a tool and drop your file in. There's no sign-up screen anywhere on the site.
Yes, in any recent mobile browser. You'll notice the difference with big files: your phone does the processing, so a long scanned PDF takes noticeably longer than it would on a laptop.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software many employers use to collect applications. It turns your resume into plain text and searches that text for the job's keywords. Two-column layouts, tables and text inside images often come out scrambled, which is why a plain single-column resume with normal headings usually reads better.
Document Tools That Never See Your Documents
Every tool on DocuTools rests on one decision: your files are processed by your own browser, on your own device, and never transmitted to a server. When you merge PDFs, the pages are reassembled in your computer's memory with the open-source pdf-lib library. When you crop a passport photo, the Canvas API does the cutting locally. When the ATS checker reads your resume, the text extraction happens inside your tab. Close the tab, and nothing is kept.
This matters because the documents people convert are rarely trivial: passports and ID photos, CVs full of personal history, signed contracts, bank statements assembled for a visa application. Uploading those to a converter you found five minutes ago is a real risk that most "free online" tools quietly ask you to accept. We built DocuTools so you don't have to. You can check the claim yourself by watching your browser's network tab while you work.
The trade-off is honest: because your device does the work, a very large file on an old phone will take longer than it would on a data-center server. For the documents these tools are made for (applications, forms, photos, everyday PDFs) the difference is seconds, and what you get in return is that your paperwork stays yours.
Beyond the tools, our guides cover the questions that surround the tasks: why passport photos get rejected, how applicant tracking systems parse resumes, which PDF settings survive printing. If something is unclear or a tool doesn't handle your file, a real person reads every message sent through the contact page.
