Free tools that respect your privacy
apps2help.com is a free collection of browser-based utilities built for one simple idea: useful software should be fast, private, and available to everyone, everywhere - without sign-ups, downloads, or hidden costs. Every tool on this site runs entirely inside your web browser, on your own device. Your files and data never leave your computer and are never uploaded to any server.
Our growing library includes practical tools for everyday work and personal use - a Folder Report Generator that exports a full Excel inventory of any folder, an Image Compressor, a Word Counter, financial calculators such as the EMI, GST and Age calculators, a Password Generator, a QR Code Generator and more. New tools and guides are added regularly.
We believe privacy is a feature, not an afterthought. Because every tool runs locally in your browser, there is no file upload, no account, and no tracking of the content you work with. We use only standard, limited analytics and advertising (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) to keep the site free, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
From students organising study material, to professionals and corporate office teams managing large volumes of documents, spreadsheets and media files, apps2help.com is designed to save time on the small tasks that add up over a working day - all without installing anything.

Almost every free utility on the web follows the same pattern. You upload a file, a server somewhere processes it, and you download the result. That pattern is convenient and it carries a cost that is rarely stated plainly: for the duration of the job, and often for a stated retention period afterwards, your document sits on hardware you do not control, governed by a privacy policy you did not read, in a jurisdiction you may not have chosen.
For a holiday photograph that hardly matters. For a payroll spreadsheet, an unsigned contract, a scan of an identity document, a medical report or an unpublished manuscript, it matters a great deal. The awkward truth is that the files people most want to compress, convert or clean up are frequently the files they should be least willing to upload.
Modern browsers no longer require that trade-off. Between the File API, WebAssembly, Canvas, the Web Audio API and the Web Crypto API, a browser tab has enough capability to do genuinely heavy work locally. Every tool on this site is built on that foundation. Your file is read from disk by your own browser, processed in memory on your own machine, and written back out as a download. There is no upload step because there is no server-side step.
Privacy assurances are easy to write and worth very little on their own, so here are two ways to check ours rather than trust it.
The first takes ten seconds. Open any tool on this site, then open your browser's developer tools and switch to the Network tab. Use the tool normally. Watch that no request carrying your file or your input is ever made. The only network activity you should see is the initial page load and any third-party fonts or advertising scripts on the page itself.
The second is even more direct. Load a tool page, then disconnect from the internet entirely, by switching off Wi-Fi or enabling airplane mode. Use the tool. It will keep working, because everything it needs is already running on your device. A tool that depended on a server would fail immediately.
No tool on this site requires an account, and we do not offer one. There is nothing to sign up for, no email address to hand over before you can use a converter, and no free tier that quietly limits you into a paid one. Files and text you enter are never transmitted, never stored on a server, and never retained after you close the tab.
We do use standard third-party services for site analytics and advertising, which is how the site is funded and how we know which tools are worth improving. Those services operate at the page level and see the ordinary things any website sees, such as which pages were visited and roughly where in the world the visit came from. They do not receive your files, your typed input, or your calculation results, because that data never leaves your device to be sent anywhere. The specifics are set out in our Privacy Policy.
Being clear about the boundaries is part of being trustworthy. Running in a browser imposes real limits, and we would rather state them than let you discover them mid-task.
The library grows from actual friction rather than keyword research. Most tools here started as a task someone had to do repeatedly and awkwardly: auditing what was on a USB drive before archiving it, getting a fifty-megabyte deck under an email attachment limit, pulling text out of a scanned page, working out what time a call in New York falls in Indian Standard Time. Where an existing free option required an upload or a sign-up for something that could plainly run locally, that became a candidate.
Each tool page also carries a written guide explaining how the underlying method works, where it is accurate, and where it is not. We would rather publish one honest explanation of a tool's limits than a page of marketing copy claiming it does everything.
Everything here is free to use, with no paid tier, no usage caps and no watermarks. The site is supported by advertising. That model only works if people find the tools genuinely useful and come back, which keeps our incentives pointed in roughly the right direction: we benefit when a tool actually solves your problem, not when it frustrates you into an upgrade.
If a tool produces a wrong result, an explanation on one of our guides is inaccurate, or something is broken in your browser, we want to know. Bug reports that include the tool name, your browser and operating system, and what you expected versus what happened are the most useful kind. Suggestions for new tools are welcome too, particularly when they describe the underlying task rather than the feature, since that often points to a better solution than the one originally imagined. You can reach us through our contact page.
No. There is no account, no sign-up and no email required for any tool on the site. Nothing is gated and there is no paid tier.
Correct. Every tool reads your file with your own browser, processes it in memory on your device, and hands the result back as a download. You can verify this by watching your browser's Network tab while you use a tool, or by loading a page and then disconnecting from the internet, at which point the tool will still work.
The site is supported by advertising. There is no paid tier, no usage limit and no watermarking, so the model depends on the tools being useful enough that people return.
Browser tabs have memory limits, so very large files can fail, particularly on phones. Processing speed depends on your own hardware rather than a server. Some codecs and formats are unavailable in browsers altogether. Where a limit applies, we state it on the relevant tool page.
Your files, typed input and calculation results never leave your device, so we cannot collect them. The site does use standard third-party analytics and advertising services which see ordinary page-level information such as which pages were visited. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Use the contact page. For bugs, include the tool name, your browser and operating system, and what you expected compared with what happened. For suggestions, describing the underlying task is more useful than describing a feature.
