Toolyo — 25+ free AI tools for images, PDFs & video. No signup, no watermarks.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I want to share something I've been building solo, and honestly, I'd love your brutal feedback more than your upvotes.
It started with a small frustration that I think a lot of you have hit too. A few months ago I just wanted to convert a Word file to PDF. Simple, right? Instead I landed on a site that made me sign up, watch an ad, hit a "free" limit after one file, and then slapped a watermark on the result. I tried another one — same story. A third one looked like it was designed in 2009 and asked for my email "to send the file."
That same week I needed to extract the audio from a video, then compress an image without destroying its quality. Three different sketchy sites, three different paywalls. I thought: why isn't there one clean place that just does the thing and gets out of my way?
So I built Toolyo → https://toolyo.io
What it is: a free, browser-based toolkit of 25+ tools for files — images, PDFs, video, audio, and AI. No signup to try, no watermarks, no "upgrade to download." You open the tool, drop your file, get your result. That's the whole experience.
What's inside right now:
📄 PDF tools — merge, split, compress, rotate, Word ↔ PDF
🖼️ Image tools — compress (without killing quality), convert formats, resize, crop, rotate
🎬 Video tools — trim/cut, compress, convert, grab a screenshot, extract audio to MP3
🤖 AI tools — OCR (pull text out of images & PDFs, including Arabic), remove background, upscale photos to 4K, face enhance
🔍 SEO tools — meta tag generator, schema generator, sitemap & robots.txt generators, SERP preview
Everything runs from the browser. Files get processed and then cleaned up — I didn't want to be yet another tool sitting on people's documents.
Why I think it's a little different:
Genuinely free to try — every tool gives you a real result without an account. No "sign up to see your download."
No watermarks. Ever. A watermark on a free tool is just an ad you didn't agree to.
Bilingual from day one — full Arabic + English UI. Most of these tools ignore Arabic users entirely, especially for things like Arabic OCR, and that's a market I care about.
Privacy-first — no account required, files aren't kept around.
The honest part: Toolyo is about a month old. It's not perfect. Some tools are faster than others, the AI ones are still being tuned, and I'm a one-person team doing everything from the code to this very post. I'm not going to pretend it's a polished unicorn — it's an early product that already works and that I use myself every day.
Why I'm posting here instead of just running ads: because this community is the best mirror a builder can get. I'd genuinely love to know:
Which tool would you actually use? (That tells me where to double down.)
What's missing? Is there a file headache you hit constantly that nobody solves well?
Does the free-with-no-watermark model feel sustainable to you, or am I being naive? 😅
Anything that feels confusing or slow — I'd rather hear it bluntly now than discover it in three months.
If you want to throw a real file at it, the tools I'm most proud of are the Word-to-PDF converter, the AI OCR (try it on a screenshot of text), and the video trimmer — those are the ones people seem to come back for.
There's a paid tier eventually for heavy users (bigger files, batch processing, API), but the core tools stay free. I'd rather have people who love a free tool than a paywall nobody gets past.

Thank you for reading this far. Every piece of feedback — even the "this part is bad" kind — genuinely helps me decide what to build next week. 🙏
