About Tools articles
Practical guides to the tasks our free tools exist for — compressing images, shrinking PDFs, generating passwords, handling text and data. Written to answer the question behind the task rather than to advertise the tool.
The useful version of "how do I make this file smaller" is not a list of buttons. It is understanding what is taking up the space, which fix damages the file and which does not, and how to tell the difference afterwards.
All the tools referenced here are free, need no account, and where the work can be done locally they run entirely in your browser so files and text never reach a server. Where a tool does need to send data somewhere to work, the articles say so rather than glossing over it.
