Free, private file tools that run in your browser
Most online file tools work the same way: you upload your file to a server, wait for it to be processed, then download the result. That round-trip is slow, and it means a stranger's computer briefly holds a copy of your document, photo or recording. Padefy takes a different approach. Every free tool runs entirely inside your web browser, so your files are processed on your own device and never uploaded anywhere.
Audio tools
Need to edit a recording? You can cut and trim audio, join several clips into one, convert between MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A and FLAC, or record straight from your microphone — all without uploading a single byte.
Video tools
For short clips you can trim video without a watermark, convert between MP4, WebM and MOV, and compress a video to a smaller file size locally. Browser processing works best for short videos, since it uses your device's memory.
PDF tools
Padefy lets you merge PDFs into one document, split a PDF into pages or ranges, compress a PDF and convert PDF pages into PNG or JPG images — useful for sharing, archiving or printing without exposing private documents to a server.
Image tools
You can resize images to any dimension, convert between PNG, JPG and WebP, and compress images to save space — with a live preview so you control the balance between quality and file size.
AI features, only when you need them
When a task genuinely needs more power, Padefy offers opt-in AI add-ons: multilingual audio transcription with Whisper, PDF summarisation and image upscaling. These run on a pay-as-you-go credit system, so the everyday tools stay completely free. See the credits & pricing page for details.
Is it really private and free?
Yes. For the free tools there is no upload, no install and no account required — your files stay on your device the entire time. That makes Padefy a fast, private alternative whenever you need a quick utility for audio, video, PDF or images, whether you're on a desktop or a phone.
