Why FileKit?

How FileKit compares to other online file tools

Most online PDF and image tools require you to upload your files to a server. FileKit is different — every tool runs entirely in your browser. Here's how we compare.

FileKit — Free browser-based file tools. No upload, no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FileKit really free?
Yes. All tools are completely free with no daily usage limits. FileKit is supported by non-intrusive advertising.
How can FileKit process files without uploading them?
FileKit uses JavaScript and WebAssembly to process files directly in your browser. Technologies like pdf-lib, pdf.js, and Tesseract.js (for OCR) run entirely client-side.
Is it safe to use FileKit for confidential documents?
Yes. Since your files never leave your device, they cannot be intercepted, stored, or accessed by anyone — including us. This makes FileKit ideal for sensitive documents.
What browsers does FileKit support?
FileKit works in all modern browsers including Chrome 90+, Firefox 90+, Safari 15+, and Edge 90+.
Can I use FileKit offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, most tools work without an internet connection. Only the initial page load requires connectivity.
How does FileKit compare to desktop software?
FileKit offers many of the same capabilities as desktop PDF editors (compress, merge, split, convert, OCR, sign, redact) without requiring installation. The trade-off is that very large files may be slower in the browser compared to native software.
