About Free Digital Tools
A free, in-browser hub of digital tools — built for students, exam aspirants, and anyone who has fought with a government form upload.
Why we built this
Every Indian student preparing for UPSC, SSC, NEET, JEE, or banking exams runs into the same wall: the application portal demands a photo at exactly 200×230 pixels, between 20 and 50 KB, on a white background. The form rejects anything else. Existing online tools either upload your photo to a foreign server, hide the real KB target behind a paywall, or simply don't work.
Free Digital Tools was built to fix that — and we kept going. Now we have over 150 form presets, 12+ image tools, 12+ PDF tools, and 6 everyday calculators. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Everything is free.
How it works
Modern browsers can do a surprising amount of work locally. We use:
- Canvas API for image resizing, cropping, compression
- WebAssembly for HEIC decoding, OCR (Tesseract.js), AI background removal
- pdf-lib and pdf.js for every PDF operation
- Next.js + React for the UI, server-rendered for fast first paint
- Cloudflare Workers for global edge delivery — fast everywhere in India
You can verify any of this in your browser's Network tab. When you compress a photo, no upload request is made. When you generate a QR code, the work happens locally.
Privacy first, by design

Pricing
The site is free to use. Government-form resizers provide clean downloads with no watermark, signup, or payment step. We do not run intrusive ads inside the tool flows.
