About Filexon

Filexon is a collection of free online tools for the small jobs that come up every week: merging or compressing a PDF, shrinking a photo so it fits in an email, turning a recording into text, converting a file to another format, or working out a loan payment. You open the page, add your file, and get the result. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Why it exists

Many online file tools ask you to upload your documents to a stranger’s server, wrap the result in pop-ups, or charge after the first use. We wanted a site where a quick job stays quick, and where private files such as contracts, ID scans and family photos do not have to leave your computer.

How your files are handled

Most tools run entirely inside your web browser. The PDF tools, the image tools, Speech to Text, and the calculators process your data on your own device, and the file is never sent to us. A small number of heavier tools, such as converting video or turning a Word document into a PDF, need more computing power than a browser has. For those, the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, and deleted automatically as soon as you have downloaded the result, and in any case within an hour. Each tool page states clearly which of the two applies.

What you will find here

  • PDF tools: merge, split, compress, rotate, add page numbers or a watermark, protect with a password, unlock, and convert to and from Word and images.
  • Image tools: compress, resize, crop, convert between JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF, remove a background, and more.
  • Media tools: record your screen or voice, trim audio, convert video and audio, make GIFs, and transcribe speech to text.
  • Financial calculators and converters: loan, mortgage and savings calculators, plus unit and text converters.

Each tool has a short explanation of how it works, answers to common questions, and links to our step-by-step guides.

How the site is paid for

Filexon is free to use. It is supported by advertising from Google AdSense. We do not sell your files or your personal information. You can read the details in our Privacy Policy.

Accuracy and limits

We test our tools with real files, but no converter is perfect. Complex layouts may need a little tidying after a PDF to Word conversion, and the financial calculators give estimates, not financial advice. If you rely on a result for something important, check it before you act on it.
