One place, not six tabs

Why one tab beats six subscriptions
Every tool here is built on something your browser already ships: its media decoders, a canvas, Web Crypto, the file APIs. That is not a limitation worked around; it is the entire design, and it is why none of this needs a monthly fee to exist.
Private by architecture
Not "we promise not to look". On every tool here but one, there is no server that could receive your file, and you can prove it from the Network tab. The exception is file transfer, which sends your file to your other device and says on its own page exactly what it passes through.
No task counter, no watermark
The paid tools do not really sell features. They sell the removal of a limit they put there. There is no counter here to run out, no watermark to pay off and no download button that asks for a card.
Instant, and it survives the wifi
Nothing waits in an upload queue, so a multi-gigabyte video opens the moment you drop it. For the same reason, most tools carry on working after the connection drops.
Nothing to install, nothing to cancel
No extension to trust, no app to update, no renewal date to diary. Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS all get the same tool, because it is just a web page.
Keyboard-first and accessible
Single-key shortcuts drive the whole flow, focus order is real, and everything is labelled for a screen reader rather than left to a placeholder.
What the same jobs cost elsewhere
Read off each company's own pricing page on 5 September 2026. These are the services people actually pay for the work floi does, so they are the fair comparison.
| Service | Price | What the free tier stops at |
|---|---|---|
| iLovePDF | $7 a month, or $48 a year | Two compressions, one split, one OCR. Files capped between 15 MB and 200 MB, against 4 GB on the paid plan. |
| Smallpdf | From $12 per user a month | Limited document processing, web only. The desktop and mobile apps are paid. |
| TinyWow | $20 a month, or $15 a month billed yearly | Nothing, and that is the point. The paid tier buys the removal of adverts and CAPTCHAs, plus a faster queue. |
| floi | Nothing | Nothing. |
floi has no counters to run out because it has no bill to recover. The pages are static files on a CDN and the work happens on your own processor, so the hundredth conversion costs what the first one did, which is almost nothing.
If something paid ever appears here, it will be a capability that does not exist today, such as pushing two hundred files through one recipe in a single pass. It will not be a fence built around a tool that is free right now. Every tool on the list above stays free, uncapped and unwatermarked, and that is the promise this site is worth judging on.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make floi my own?
Sign in for a personal home with recent tools and suggestions based on completed tasks. Completed tasks earn points, unlock animated companions and record your typing best. Profiles start private. You choose whether to publish yours and join the global or country rankings.
Your files still stay in your browser, except when you send one to another device with File Transfer. The /geo lookup supplies a country code during sign-up. Journey progress and activity store tool paths, dates and numbers, never your files or tool contents. Signed in, your text drafts, settings and numeric activity save automatically to your private account. Signed out, they stay on this device.
What is floi?
A single place for the small jobs that get spread across half a dozen paid services. Compressing a PDF, converting an image, signing a document, pulling a frame out of a video, counting the words in a draft. Each one is a tool that runs inside your browser tab instead of on somebody's server.
30 tools are live today and 13 more are named and in build. The whole directory is on this page.
Can this really replace the tools I pay for?
For the small jobs, yes, and those are most of what a PDF or image subscription is used for. Compress, convert, merge into a PDF, sign, resize, remove a background, read text off a picture, trim audio. That is the work people buy iLovePDF and Smallpdf to do.
It does not replace Photoshop, Premiere or a full document management system, and it will not pretend to. The rule for what gets built here is whether a browser can do the job honestly and well. Where it cannot, the tool page says so instead of failing quietly.
Is it actually free, or free until I hit a limit?
Actually free. No account required, no email required, no trial, no watermark, no daily cap and no paid tier waiting behind a "download" button. floi is static files on a CDN. Serving it costs almost nothing, so there is nothing that needs to be gated to pay for it.
If a paid option ever arrives, it will add something that does not exist today rather than take something away. Every tool that is free now stays free.
Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser does the decoding, the canvas work and the encoding locally, and even ZIP archives are assembled inside the page. You can open your developer tools, watch the Network tab, and confirm that a file you drop in generates no outbound request at all.
That page said a future tool might genuinely need a server, and that it would say so plainly. One now does. File transfer sends a file from one of your devices to another, and two browsers cannot open a direct connection without swapping a few kilobytes of network addresses and encryption keys first. A ten minute room passes those two blobs between them and is then destroyed. It never receives a filename or a byte of a file, and the tool page explains the whole arrangement.
What kinds of tools are here?
Media & images, Text & writing, Developer, Documents & office, Education & study, Design & colour. The list is meant to keep growing. The rule for what gets built is simply whether a browser can do the job honestly and well; if it can, it belongs here rather than behind an upload form.
Why does it matter that the tools run in the browser?
Three practical reasons, beyond the privacy one. It is faster, because a multi-gigabyte file never waits in an upload queue. It works on files that are too big or too sensitive to send anywhere. And it keeps working when the connection does not. Once a page has loaded, most tools run offline.
There is a commercial reason too, and it is the one that decides the price. A tool that runs on your processor costs floi nothing to run, so there is no per-file cost to pass on to you.
Do I need to install anything?
No. There is no extension, no desktop app, and no sign-up required. Every tool is a web page: open it, use it, close it. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS. If the browser can open the file, the tool can work on it.
Does everything work on a phone?
Almost everything. The one current exception is live screen capture, which depends on a desktop-only browser API. Anything that is desktop-only says so on its own page rather than failing quietly when you get there.
What are the "in build" tools, and when do they land?
They are the tools already designed and queued, listed by name so you can see where floi is going rather than being told "more coming soon". They are not links, because there is nothing behind them yet. A card becomes a link on the day the tool actually works. No dates are promised, because a promised date on a free project is just a broken one waiting to happen.
