What this is
A small set of free photo, video and PDF tools that do one job each:
- HEIC to JPG — turns iPhone photos (HEIC) into normal JPGs that open anywhere.
- MOV to MP4 — turns iPhone videos into MP4s.
- MP4 to MP3 — takes the sound out of a video.
- WebP to JPG — turns WebP pictures into JPGs.
- PNG to JPG — turns PNG pictures into much smaller JPGs.
- Resize image — makes a photo the size you need.
- Compress photo — makes a photo's file smaller.
- Compress video — makes a video's file smaller.
- JPG to PDF — puts photos into one PDF, in the order you choose.
- Crop & rotate — crop, turn or flip a photo.
- Remove background — cuts the background out of a photo.
- Remove photo metadata — strips the hidden location, camera and date from photos.
- More converters: HEIC to PNG, WebP to PNG, JPG to PNG, JPG to WebP and PNG to WebP.
How they work
Each tool runs inside your own browser, so your photos are never uploaded. That makes them fast, and it means we never see, store or keep anything you drop in. There is no account and no sign-up. See the privacy page for the full detail.
Why it exists
Phones and cameras save photos and videos in formats that many computers, websites and email systems cannot open. These tools fix that quickly, without making you install anything, hand over your files or sign up.
How we check them
Each tool is tested in a real browser with real photos, videos and documents before it goes live, including photos taken sideways, see-through PNGs and files that are not really pictures. When a tool cannot do something, such as convert a video your browser cannot read, it says so instead of handing back a broken file.
Who runs this website
Handy File Tools is written, checked and maintained by the people who run it. It began as one converter — iPhone photos to JPG — and grew a tool at a time, each one tested before it goes live. There is no company to deal with and nothing to join: the adverts pay for the site, and the same people who write the pages read the messages that arrive through the Contact page.
Who pays for it
The tools are free and the website is paid for by adverts. See the Privacy page for how adverts use cookies.
