What is OmniTools?

OmniTools is a free, open-source collection of handy web tools for resizing and converting images, trimming videos, splitting and merging PDFs, formatting text, converting time zones and more. All files are processed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and you can self-host it with a small Docker image.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what OmniTools does well

  • Many quick tools in one place
  • Files stay on your device
  • Free and open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Individual tools are fairly basic
  • Self-hosting needs Docker

Who OmniTools is for

People who keep searching for small one-off tools to finish quick tasks.

Who can skip it

Anyone who already has dedicated apps for each of these jobs.
