abox.tools

Free tools. Local processing.

abox.tools (A Box of Tools) offers image compression, PDF editing and text tools in your browser. No processing uploads, no sign-in.

Your files stay yours.

Images

Resize one, shrink one, take out what it quietly records about you, or draw one from nothing - none of it sent anywhere.

Video & animation

Trim, convert or build a clip from photos, with the footage staying on your device.

Documents & audio

Rearrange a document or trim a recording without sending either away for processing.

Text, codes & passwords

Read it, check it, or make it here - no token, no config file and no password on somebody else's server.

Connect devices

Share text and files, talk live, or watch a camera or browser tab on another device. Each tool explains what it sends and how the browsers connect.

Not sure which setting to move, or what it costs? There is a guide for every tool.

More is coming, and the list is public: see what is planned next.

Your files stay yours.

Local file processing works offline after the tool is saved. Fetching and sharing require a connection.

How it stays private
  • Your files are processed on your device Your browser opens, reads and edits the files you choose. There is no upload for processing. Share Text & Files, Share a Browser Tab, Remote Camera and the live voice tools deliberately send content to another browser; their own pages explain the connection.
  • Your files are not given to analytics Page visits, fixed tool-use stages, the first successful result per page load, selected workflow links and optional fixed feedback are counted. No files, filenames, contents or input or output details go with those counts. Optional image imports and receipt exchange-rate requests name their data beside their controls.
  • Local processing works offline Wait for a tool's offline indicator to say ready, then disconnect and use files from your device. Fetching a web image, looking up an online rate and connecting two browsers require a network.

None of that has to be taken on trust. How to tell whether a tool really needs your files sets out four checks you can run yourself, on this site or any other.
