ToolboxHere is a free online toolbox for everyday jobs with documents, photos, numbers and dates: merging PDFs, scanning paper with a phone, passport photos at the exact size, converting iPhone photos, pulling text out of screenshots, prayer times and the Hijri calendar, checking a CV against a job post and more. Every tool runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device.
Why we built it
Most free converters upload your files to their servers. That is a real risk when the file is a passport scan, a bank statement, a signed contract or your CV. Browsers are now powerful enough to do this work on your own device, including running AI models, so we built tools that never need your files to leave it.
What makes it different
- Private: files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
- Free: use any tool as often as you like without an account, and download results without a watermark.
- Multilingual: text recognition for English, Arabic and Urdu, with right-to-left text handled properly.
- Fast: no waiting for uploads or downloads from a server queue.
Who makes it
ToolboxHere is built and maintained by Saad Naeem, an AI engineer based in Doha, Qatar, with nine years of experience in machine learning, computer vision and document processing. The site opened in September 2026 and is a one-person project: every tool, every page of text and every reply to a reader comes from the same person. The tools use well-established open-source software such as pdf.js, pdf-lib and Tesseract; see the licenses page for the full list.
How the figures are checked
Where a tool gives a figure people rely on, the page says where it comes from. Passport and visa photo sizes follow the official rules of the issuing office, with the date they were last checked. Prayer times in Qatar and Saudi Arabia show the published timetables of the Qatar Calendar House and the Umm al-Qura calendar, and other places are calculated with the method their own authority uses. Tax and end-of-service calculators name the law and the year they apply to. If you find a figure that does not match the official source, tell us and it is corrected.
How the site is funded
The tools are free to use and will stay free. The site is paid for by advertising shown next to the tools, never by selling data: no file, photo or text you work on is sent to us or to an advertiser. The privacy policy explains the cookies that ads and analytics set and how to opt out of personalised ads.
