# FileForge

> FileForge provides free browser-first tools for images, PDFs, OCR, audio/video, developer workflows, and privacy tasks. No sign-up is required.

FileForge is a privacy-oriented web utility platform with 256 tools. Use the English route by default or add `/hi` for Hindi. Tool pages contain crawlable descriptions, FAQs, supported formats, and structured metadata.

## High-value image tools

- Batch Image Converter: convert up to 20 images to JPG, PNG, or WebP and download one ZIP.
- Image Censor: draw solid redaction, pixelation, or blur regions over sensitive image details.
- Image to Text OCR: extract English or Hindi text from images.
- Image Cropper, Remove Background, Compress Image, Convert Image, Bulk Resize, EXIF Viewer, and Exam Photo tools.
- Image Studio and Image Optimizer provide local drawing, annotation, resizing, compression, and format controls.

## High-value PDF tools

- PDF OCR: convert scanned pages into searchable PDFs with an invisible text layer; English and Hindi models are available.
- Flatten PDF: make interactive form fields non-editable without claiming to redact hidden content.
- Merge, Split, Compress, Reorder, Rotate, Redact, eSign, Watermark, Metadata, PDF to Text, PDF to Image, and PDF conversion tools.
- Translate PDF: extract text, load a browser translation model, and build a new translated PDF without sending the document to a FileForge backend. Text PDFs work best; models and workers may load from public CDNs.
- Diagram Board, Code Screenshot, Shell Explainer, Network Speed Test, and Ambient Soundscape add browser-native creative and utility workflows.

## Browser and privacy model

Tools that advertise client-side processing perform work in the browser. Some browser workflows download WebAssembly or OCR models on first use. Users should read the tool description for any tool-specific limitation; PDF flattening is not secure redaction, and blur/pixelation are not guaranteed irreversible redaction.
