Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about Toolsvu.
Is Toolsvu really free?
Yep, 100%. Every tool, every feature, every time. There's no premium upgrade lurking behind a button, no credit card prompt, nothing. We literally don't have a checkout page. You couldn't pay us if you tried.
Do I need to create an account?
Nope. No signup form, no email confirmation, no passwords to remember. We didn't even build an account system. You just show up and use whatever you need.
Are my files and data safe?
Short answer: yes. Most tools run right in your browser, so your data physically cannot reach us, it never leaves your device. For the handful of tools that need server processing (like shrinking an image or merging PDFs), your file gets uploaded, processed, and deleted within seconds. We don't store it, peek at it, or do anything weird with it.
What kinds of tools do you have?
A lot. 286+ at last count, spread across 14 categories. Developer stuff like JSON formatters and regex testers. Text manipulation, color pickers, image editors, PDF tools, video and audio converters, security utilities, SEO checkers, network diagnostics, AI content generators, math calculators, data converters, basically if you've ever Googled 'free online [thing] tool', we probably have it.
Can I use Toolsvu on my phone?
Absolutely. Everything is responsive, so it works on your phone, tablet, laptop, whatever. A few tools with big interactive canvases are more comfortable on a wider screen, but they still work fine on mobile.
How do server-side tools work?
Some tasks, video compression, image format conversion, PDF merging, are too heavy for a browser to handle alone. For those, here's the deal: you upload your file, our server does the heavy lifting, sends back the finished version, and immediately trashes the original. The whole round trip usually takes a few seconds. Your file only exists on our server for that brief window.
Do you have an API?
Not at the moment. It's on our radar, though. If that's something you'd actually use, shoot us a note through the contact page, it genuinely helps us figure out what to build next.
How can I suggest a new tool?
We love hearing ideas. Head over to the contact page, pick "Feature Request" as the topic, and tell us what you're looking for. We keep a running list and the stuff people ask for most gets built first.
I found a bug. Where do I report it?
The contact page, pick "Bug Report" and let us know which tool broke and what went wrong. A screenshot goes a long way if you've got one. We'll dig into it.
Is Toolsvu really free to use?
Honestly? Because we hated them on every other tool site we used. Pop-ups covering half the screen, auto-playing video ads, cookie consent walls taller than the actual tool, that's exactly why we started this project. Putting ads on Toolsvu would defeat the whole point.
Who built Toolsvu?
A small group of developers who kept bookmarking dozens of separate tool websites and getting annoyed by all of them. We wanted one clean spot that had everything, loaded fast, and didn't nag us. So we sat down and made it ourselves.
