Free AI and File Tools That Run in Your Browser

Published 2026-11-04 · Last reviewed 2026-11-04

Every tool on this site, grouped by what it does — and a straight answer about which ones use AI and which ones only say they do.

"AI tool" has stopped meaning anything in particular. Plenty of things sold as AI are ordinary software with a new label, and plenty of genuinely useful software is not AI at all and does not need to be. Here is what is on this site and which category each thing honestly falls into.

Things that genuinely use a model

These send the text you give them to a model and nothing else. They are the only pages on this site that transmit anything at all.

Things labelled AI that are really file forensics

  • AI image checker — this does not guess whether a picture looks AI-generated. It reads the metadata that generation tools write into the file. When that metadata is there the answer is definite; when it has been stripped, the honest answer is "cannot tell", and that is what it says. Detectors that score a photograph's "AI-ness" from the pixels are unreliable, and we did not build one.
  • Image metadata viewer — camera, lens, GPS, editing history.
  • Remove image metadata.

Things that are not AI and are better for it

Most of the site. These run entirely inside your browser, which is why they have no limits, no account and no upload.

Why most of it is not AI

Compressing an image to exactly 20 KB is a search problem: encode, measure, adjust, repeat. A model would be slower, less accurate, more expensive and would require uploading your photograph. The same is true of resizing, cropping, merging PDFs and rebuilding a broken archive. Putting a model behind those would be worse software with better marketing.

Where a model genuinely helps — summarising, translating, drafting prose — we use one and say so. Where it does not, we do not.
