OpenTools — what's new https://getopentools.com/whats-new New tools and changes to the ones already here. Everything runs in your browser. en Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Every tool now keeps working after you disconnect — and we test it https://getopentools.com/proof 2026-09-26-/proof Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Open any tool, switch off your Wi-Fi, and the job still finishes, because the work was never going to the network in the first place. That is now checked on every release in two different browsers rather than being something we assert. Run the whole thing inside your own network in one click https://getopentools.com/self-host 2026-09-26-/self-host Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT If you already have a home server or an office box, the install is now a single entry in its app catalogue — no command line. Useful where uploading the document is itself the problem: legal, medical, payroll, anything under review. Large files no longer hit a ceiling https://getopentools.com/pdf/compress 2026-09-26-/pdf/compress Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT The fixed size limit is gone. Big inputs are read in pieces instead of all at once, so the practical limit is your own machine rather than a number we picked. iPhone photos convert without leaving your computer https://getopentools.com/image/heic-to-jpg 2026-09-25-/image/heic-to-jpg Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT HEIC is the format an iPhone saves photos in, and most things that are not an Apple device refuse to open it. Both conversions decode the photo in the tab. The whole catalogue is two clicks from the front page https://getopentools.com/ 2026-09-25-/ Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Nineteen category pages now sit between the home page and the tools, so finding the right one no longer depends on guessing its name. Whole folders at once, not one file at a time https://getopentools.com/batch/compress-pdfs 2026-09-25-/batch/compress-pdfs Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Batch pages for the three jobs people repeat most: shrinking a stack of PDFs, converting a camera roll of iPhone photos, and renaming files in bulk. The site refuses to load over an unencrypted connection https://getopentools.com/security 2026-09-25-/security Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A promise that your file stays on your machine can be stripped out in transit if the page arrives unencrypted. Plain requests are now redirected before anything loads. Put a tool on your own site, free https://getopentools.com/embed 2026-09-24-/embed Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Any tool here can be embedded in someone else’s page with no key and no account. It costs nothing to give away because the work runs in your reader’s browser, not on a server. A PDF compressor that works on a plane https://getopentools.com/pdf/compress-offline 2026-09-24-/pdf/compress-offline Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT One page built to be used with no connection at all: open it once and it keeps working after the network is gone, including the engine that does the compressing.
