What PocketKit is
ToolNova is a collection of free, browser-based tools for everyday tasks — images, PDFs, text, developer utilities, calculators, converters and generators. There's nothing to install and nothing to sign up for: open a tool, do the task, and get your result.
Why we built it
Most small everyday tasks — compressing a photo, merging two PDFs, formatting a block of JSON — shouldn't require installing an app or creating an account. We built ToolNova around a simple idea: useful tools should be fast to reach, easy to understand, and free to use.
What you'll find here
- Image tools — background removal, compression, resizing, cropping and format conversion.
- PDF tools — merging, splitting, compressing and converting between PDF, JPG and Word.
- Text tools — word/character counters, case conversion, duplicate-line removal and more.
- Developer tools — JSON formatting/validation, Base64 and URL encoding/decoding.
- Calculators, converters & generators — everyday calculators, unit converters, QR codes, passwords and UUIDs.
How the tools work
Where technically possible, ToolNova's tools are designed to run directly in your browser rather than on a remote server, so your files stay on your own device during processing. Some tools may rely on third-party libraries or models loaded from a content delivery network (CDN) to do this — see our Privacy Policy for details on what's loaded and why.
Who it's for
Students, designers, developers, content creators, bloggers, freelancers, small businesses and everyday office users — anyone who needs a quick, no-fuss tool without the overhead of a full desktop application.
Always improving
New tools are added over time based on what's genuinely useful. If there's a tool you'd like to see, or something isn't working as expected, we'd love to hear from you — see the Contact page.
