Free Text Convert
Free text & PDF tools that never upload your files
Free Text Convert is a set of 20+ browser-based tools for converting and cleaning up text and PDFs — extract text from a PDF, convert CSV to JSON, format JSON, fix messy whitespace, remove duplicate lines, and more. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your files are never uploaded to a server. No signup, no watermarks, no limits, no ads.
Hi everyone, I'm Cino, the solo developer behind Free Text Convert.
This started from a small, recurring frustration. Every time I needed to do something quick with text — pull the text out of a PDF, convert a CSV to JSON, clean up messy line breaks, change case — I'd end up on a different site, half of them buried in ads, asking me to sign up, or quietly uploading my file to some server I knew nothing about. I just wanted one clean place that did the job without touching my data.
So I built it. Every tool runs entirely in your browser — your files and text never get uploaded anywhere, which makes it safe for confidential documents and means it still works if your connection drops. No signup, no watermarks, no limits, no ads. Just over 20 tools for everyday text and PDF jobs.
Honestly, what's kept me going is the people who use it. A while back, a stranger messaged me out of the blue to say one of the tools had saved them time — that's what pulled me back to keep improving it.
I'd really like your feedback: what tool would make this more useful for you? And if there's a text or PDF task you keep doing the hard way, tell me — it might be the next one I build.
