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.

How does the site make money?

Display ads, that's the entire model. A few banner slots pay the server bills. What you won't run into: pop-ups, auto-playing video, cookie-wall theater, or a tool suddenly locked behind a premium upgrade. Every tool stays fully usable with or without an ad on the page.

Who built Toolsvu?

It's an independent, self-funded project, built and run by a developer who has been shipping web projects since 2009. No company behind it, no investors, no growth team. That's also why there's no signup wall: nothing here needs your email to justify a metric.
