How it works

Drop your file

Any file — only its name is checked, never its content.

See what applies

Every tool in the catalog that fits its type.

Pick one and go

Straight to the tool, ready to use with your file.

A starting point when you don't know where to look

With a catalog this size, the harder part is sometimes just knowing what's possible. Drop a file here — a photo, a PDF, a spreadsheet, whatever you have — and this page reads its extension and lists every tool built for that kind of file, from the obvious (compress it) to things you might not have thought of (check its hidden metadata, extract its text).

Only the name is checked

This page looks at the file's name and extension to know its type — nothing about the file itself is read, uploaded, or processed here. It's purely a signpost to the right tool; once you pick one, that tool handles your actual file, entirely in your browser like everything else on this site, with none of it ever leaving your device in the process.

Covers the common formats

Photos, PDFs, plain text, CSV, JSON, XML, ZIP archives and a few others are recognized by extension and matched to a curated list of relevant tools. A less common or unrecognized file type still gets a useful set of general file tools — checking its size, its metadata, or its type.

One page, the whole catalog behind it

Rather than maintaining a separate landing page per file type, this single page adapts to whatever you drop, pulling from the same catalog every other tool page links back to — so the suggestions stay in sync as more tools get added, without this page itself ever needing to change.

Frequently asked questions

Does this read the contents of my file?
No, only the file name and extension are checked to know its type; nothing is uploaded or read beyond that.
What if my file type isn't recognized?
You'll still see a set of general tools that work with any file, like checking its size or metadata, plus a link to search or browse the full catalog.
Does this work for PDFs and spreadsheets too, not just photos?
Yes, PDFs, CSV, JSON, XML, ZIP files and plain text are all recognized, alongside common photo formats.
Is this the same as the search tool?
This one starts from a file and shows what applies to its type; the find a tool page starts from a sentence describing what you want to do.
Does dropping a file here process it in any way?
No, this page only suggests tools; the file itself is only touched once you open one of the suggested tools.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Nothing about the file's content is ever read here, only its name.
