Yes. Every tool on ToolNest is free — no trials, no locked features, no daily limits and no paywall at the last step. There is nothing to buy, and no account to create.

Yes. The tools run in your browser, and the site asks for nothing from you: no account, no email, no password. The only data that ever leaves your device is for the few tools that need a public lookup by design — for example, the Currency Converter fetching a public exchange rate, or the Weather Forecast fetching a public forecast — and those tools say so on the page.

No. Images, PDFs, videos and text are processed on your own device — nothing is uploaded to a server, stored or logged. The only exceptions are tools that by their nature need a public service, such as the Password Breach Checker, which sends only the first five characters of a password hash, and those exceptions are explained on the tool's own page.

No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password — open a tool and start using it. Your recently used tools are remembered only in your own browser, and you can clear them at any time.

Start from the job, not the tool name. To shrink a photo, use Compress Image. To combine PDFs, use Merge PDF. To work out a loan payment, use the Loan EMI Calculator. To count words, use the Word Counter. To make a QR code, use the QR Code Generator. If you are still unsure, press Ctrl+K and describe what you want to do — the search understands plain language like “shrink a photo” or “merge a PDF” — or browse the A–Z list of all tools.

Most tools work instantly, because the processing happens on your device. If a tool feels slow, the usual causes are: a very large file (a long video or a big PDF takes longer to process), a slow device, or — for the few tools that fetch public data, like the Weather Forecast or Currency Converter — a slow network. Try a smaller file, close other tabs, or wait a moment and try again. If a tool fails completely, check the Contact page and tell us which tool, which browser and what went wrong.

Yes. The site and the tools are designed to work on phones and tablets as well as desktops, and file downloads work on mobile browsers. A few tools work best on desktop — the Screen Recorder, for example, needs a desktop browser — and those tools say so on the page.

The site itself needs an internet connection to load, and the only external request it makes is for fonts. Once a tool page has loaded, most tools keep working without a connection, because the processing is local. Tools that fetch live public data — weather, exchange rates, crypto prices — need a connection, and they say so when the live data cannot load.

There is no fixed limit set by ToolNest, but your browser and device set a practical one: very large files use more memory and take longer. If a tool struggles with a huge file, try a smaller file, or split the job into parts — for example, merge PDFs in batches.

Use the Contact page and tell us which tool, which browser and what went wrong. That is usually enough to fix it. Please do not send files containing private information — we cannot see or recover anything you processed, because it never left your browser.

Yes. Use the Request a Tool page — it opens your email app with the request prefilled. We read every request, though we cannot promise every one will be built.

Browsers enforce CORS: a page may only read a response from another site if that site explicitly allows it. Most sites do not allow it, so the browser blocks the request. The tool measures this page's load time directly, and it can time a URL only if that site allows cross-origin requests. It reports this honestly instead of inventing a number.
