About
An independent set of file tools, built to be useful before they are profitable.

What this is
A small, growing set of file tools built by one person. The first is an EPUB to PDF converter; more are being added as each one reaches a standard worth publishing.
The premise is simple: most free file converters work, but they make you fight through sign-up prompts, size caps you only discover after uploading, and pages where the advertising is more prominent than the tool. None of that is necessary.
How these tools are built
- The tool comes first on the page. Explanations go below it. You should be able to finish your task without reading anything.
- Limits are stated before you commit. The maximum file size shown is read from the server that enforces it, so it cannot be out of date or optimistic.
- Errors name the actual problem. A DRM-protected book says so. A truncated download says so. "Something went wrong" is not used anywhere.
- Claims are checkable. Where a page says a file is deleted, there is code that deletes it. Where it cannot promise something, it does not.
- Advertising stays out of the workflow. Ads are labelled, given reserved space so they cannot shift the page, and never placed beside the buttons you need.
What these tools deliberately do not do
- No accounts, and no email address required to download your own file.
- No watermarks, and no "upgrade to remove the queue".
- No DRM circumvention. Encrypted books are identified and explained, not broken open.
- No use of uploaded files for training anything, by us or anyone else.
- No fabricated reviews, ratings, user counts or certifications — including in the structured data, which is why this site has none of the rating markup that would earn stars in search results.
Who runs it
This is an independent project, not a company. There is no support team behind it — messages go to one person, and the answer to "can you add X" is often yes.
If something is broken, wrong, or a guide describes a menu that no longer exists, get in touch. Corrections are genuinely welcome.
