Merge, compress, convert and protect PDFs, images, documents and files on your own computer, not on someone else's server. Free forever, no account, no limits.
Every tool runs on your computer. Pick one to see how it works, then do it in the app.
No tool matches that. Try “pdf”, “compress”, “jpg” or “password”.

Online converters upload your contracts, IDs and photos to their servers. Toolfox processes everything on your computer, so there is nothing to upload, store or leak.
On a plane, on a slow connection or behind a strict company network: every tool works with Wi-Fi switched off.
No file-size caps, no daily quotas, no upload queues. Batch hundreds of files at the speed of your own computer.
No account, no ads, no watermarks, no trial that runs out. All tools are free forever.

Toolfox is a free app for macOS, Windows and Linux that bundles 57 everyday tools: PDF merge, split, compress, protect, unlock, watermark, page numbers and text extraction; image compress (including to an exact KB size), resize, crop, convert, watermark and GIF making; document and Excel/CSV conversion; ZIP, 7Z and TAR archives; batch rename and duplicate finder; and developer tools such as JSON, YAML and XML conversion, JWT decoding, a password generator, word counter, QR codes and barcodes. Everything runs locally on your computer.
Yes. Toolfox is free forever with no subscriptions, paid tiers, ads, usage limits, watermarks or account.
No. Toolfox never uploads your files: every tool runs on your computer using code built into the app and the operating system's own engines, and all 57 tools passed their test suite with networking blocked. The only time Toolfox goes online is when you check for updates (off by default), and that only downloads a small version file; nothing about you or your files is sent.
Yes. Every tool works without an internet connection, including in airplane mode.
macOS 11 or later on Apple silicon; Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit); and 64-bit Linux, as an AppImage or a .deb package for Debian and Ubuntu. All 57 tools are available everywhere. Reading HEIC/AVIF photos currently works on macOS only, and document conversion on Windows and Linux uses LibreOffice, which you install.
Toolfox isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks once. Open Toolfox, click Done, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to Toolfox, and confirm. On macOS 14 and earlier you can instead right-click the app and choose Open. You only need to do this once.
Toolfox isn't code-signed for Windows yet, so SmartScreen warns about new apps. Click More info, then Run anyway. You can verify the installer first with its published SHA-256 checksum on the download page.
Free forever. No account. Works offline. For macOS, Windows and Linux.
