I built FixMyFile — a free platform with 55+ tools for PDFs, images, documents, and more.
The key difference from iLovePDF/SmallPDF: everything runs in your browser. No files ever get uploaded to any server.
Tools include:
- PDF: merge, split, compress, convert to Word/Excel/PPT, sign, watermark
- Image: AI background remover, resize, compress, passport photo maker
- OCR: extract text from images in 50+ languages
- Document Formatter: auto-fix Word docs (APA, IEEE, corporate styles)
- Scan to PDF: camera scanner with edge detection + perspective correction
Tech Stack:
- Next.js 16 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS
- pdf-lib for PDF manipulation
- Tesseract.js for OCR
- @imgly/background-removal for AI BG removal
- Deployed on Vercel (zero cost)
Try it: fixmyfile.vercel.app
Would love feedback — what tools should I add next?
