About QuicklySave

What this is

QuicklySave is a collection of free file tools that run entirely in your browser. Image conversion, PDF manipulation, OCR, video downloading, audio extraction, QR codes — over 50 tools, each focused on doing one common task as quickly as possible.

Nothing on this site requires an account. There are no watermarks on output files. There is no premium tier. Every tool is free and complete, today.

Why we built it this way

Most "free" online file tools work like this: you upload your file to a server, the server processes it, and you download the result. This means your files — sometimes sensitive ones — sit on someone else's computer for some amount of time. Even when those services promise to delete uploads after an hour, you're trusting that promise.

With modern browsers and JavaScript, almost every common file-processing task can happen entirely on your own device. There's no need to upload. Image conversion can happen in your browser. PDF merging can happen in your browser. OCR can happen in your browser. Video downloading needs a small server-side proxy (because browsers can't fetch from third-party domains directly), but the bytes stream through to you without being stored.

We built QuicklySave around that simple idea: process files where they already are, instead of moving them to a server and back. The result is faster (no upload wait), more private (no server-side copy), and more reliable (no "service down" if your machine is on).

What runs where

Every tool that takes a file as input runs the file through JavaScript libraries in your browser. The file is read with the standard File API, processed in memory, and returned to you as a download. It never leaves your device.

The tools that fetch content from external services (video downloaders, image-from-URL utilities) route their fetches through a Cloudflare Worker we operate. The Worker exists as a CORS proxy — browsers won't let JavaScript fetch from arbitrary third-party domains directly, so the Worker fetches the content and passes it back. The Worker streams content through without storing it, and doesn't log URLs.

The site itself runs on Cloudflare's network. There's no database, no user accounts, no server-side state. The site is essentially a collection of static pages plus a small proxy worker.

How this is funded

QuicklySave displays ads on some pages (primarily on the long-form guides) to cover the cost of hosting, domain registration, and the time spent building and maintaining the site. We don't track users, sell data, or push premium upgrades. The ads are the only revenue source.

Tool pages stay clean and ad-free because that's where the work happens — interrupting a file conversion with ads would defeat the purpose.

The tools we have

QuicklySave has tools for converting between image formats, compressing images, downloading videos from social platforms, extracting audio from video, working with PDFs (merging, splitting, OCR, rotation, compression), converting between document formats, generating and reading QR codes, and several other utilities. The full list is on the homepage; categories are at the top of every page.

New tools get added regularly based on what people search for and what gaps exist in free, browser-based options.
