Hey Product Hunt 👋
What inspired this: I kept hearing the same complaints from people
around me. A friend gets sent a .heic photo from an iPhone and it
won't open on their Windows laptop. Another friend running a small
business is either paying monthly for an invoice tool or rebuilding
one in Word every time. Someone else just needs a QR code and every
generator wants an account first.
The problem underneath all of it was the same shape, a small task
made either expensive or sketchy by whatever's free online. So I built
tooldo: 9 everyday file tools (PDF merge/split, image conversion,
video compression, invoices, QR codes, CSV/JSON, and more), with one
rule, nothing ever uploads. Everything runs in your browser, on your
device.
How the approach changed along the way: I originally shipped a 10th
tool, a background remover using a hosted ML model. It passed every
test, then started failing for real visitors, traced to the model
host's CDN caching an error at some edge locations. A retry didn't fix
it. I ended up removing the tool entirely rather than take on hosting
the model myself, it was the only tool depending on infrastructure I
didn't control, which went against the whole point of the project.
That decision shaped everything after it: no tool ships unless it can
run fully client-side.
Start with the PDF tool if you want to see it in action, drop a file
in, every page becomes a card you can drag, rotate, or remove.
Open source, MIT licensed. Would love your feedback.
