orbitWhat Orbit Tools is
Orbit Tools is a collection of free, focused utilities for everyday tasks: converting Word and PDF files, merging and splitting PDFs, turning images into PDFs and back, resizing and compressing photos, counting words, formatting JSON, generating passwords and more. Each tool has its own page with clear inputs, a preview of the result and practical explanations.
Why we built it
Most online converters work the same way: you upload your file, it is processed on someone else’s server, and you download the result. That is convenient, but it means your contracts, payslips, ID scans and private photos are copied to a computer you know nothing about.
Orbit Tools takes a different approach. Modern browsers are powerful enough to do this work themselves, so every tool on this site runs inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are read from your disk, processed in memory and saved back to your downloads folder. They are never uploaded to our server.
Our principles
- No uploads. Files and text you use in the tools stay on your device.
- No account. Open a tool and use it. There is nothing to sign up for.
- Preview before download. You see the result before you save it.
- Honest limits. If a tool cannot do something well — for example, read scanned PDFs without OCR — we say so on the page instead of giving you a broken file.
- Fast and light. Pages load quickly and work on phones, tablets and computers.
How it works
The tools are built on web standards and well-known open-source libraries: Mozilla’s PDF.js for reading and rendering PDFs, pdf-lib for merging, splitting and creating PDFs, Mammoth and docx for Word documents, pdfmake for PDF generation, JSZip for ZIP files and DOMPurify for safe HTML handling. Text encryption and password generation use the browser’s built-in Web Crypto API. All of these libraries are served from this website rather than from third-party servers. Their licenses are listed in our third-party notices.
How the site is funded
Orbit Tools is free to use. To cover hosting and development, the site shows advertising provided by Google AdSense. Advertising is described in our Privacy Policy. The tools themselves never upload your files.
