Free online tools that work right in your browser

What you can do on Filexon

Filexon is a collection of free tools for everyday jobs. You can merge, split, compress and protect PDFs, shrink and convert photos, record your screen or your voice, turn speech into text, work out a loan payment, tidy up pasted text, and format code. Each tool does one job and explains how to use it on its own page, with a short set of steps, notes on what to expect and answers to common questions.

There is no account to create and nothing to install. Open a tool, use it, and download the result.

Two kinds of tools: in your browser, and on our server

Most tools run entirely in your browser. Your files and text are processed on your own device and are never sent to us, which keeps documents and photos private and makes the tools quick, because there is no upload to wait for.

A few jobs are too heavy for a browser, such as converting video and audio, or turning a Word file into a PDF and back. Those tools run on our server. The file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, and deleted automatically once your download is ready, and within one hour at the latest. Every tool page says clearly which kind it is before you use it.

How to choose the right tool

If you are not sure where to start, think about what you hold in your hand. A PDF that is too big to email points to Compress PDF. A pile of photos that must become one document points to Image to PDF. A video you only want the sound from points to Video to MP3. Text that arrived with a line break on every line points to Remove Line Breaks.

The guides section goes further. Each guide explains a whole job from start to finish, including what can go wrong and how to fix it, and links to the tools that do the work.

Free to use, and honest about limits

The tools are free to use and do not need an account. Where a tool has a limit, such as a file size cap on the server tools, the page says so. Where a tool cannot do something, for example read handwriting or add an image watermark, we say that too, rather than leave you to find out.
