I Hate Online Tools is a free collection of image, video, audio, text, and file utilities that run entirely in your browser. Convert HEIC, compress a JPEG, trim a clip, format JSON, zip files — none of it is uploaded. There is no account, no watermark, and no file-size quota beyond your device. Open the network tab and watch: the page loads; your file does not leave. If a tool needs a server, it is not on this site.
Hey Product Hunt — I’m the maker.
I got tired of “free” converters that start with an upload bar. A résumé, an ID scan, a family video, a JSON dump from production — none of that needs to sit on a stranger’s disk so a website can change the format.
So I built I Hate Online Tools: image, video, audio, text, and archive utilities that run in the browser. Convert HEIC, compress to a size cap, trim a clip, strip EXIF, zip files, format JSON. No account, no watermark, no “we’ll delete it in 24 hours.” The file never left the tab.
There are about 100 tools across 17 categories. Video/audio load a local FFmpeg build once (~30 MB, then cached). Everything else is Canvas / WebAssembly. You can disconnect after the page loads and it keeps working. How that’s actually true: ihateonlinetools.com/how-it-works.
It’s free. I’m a solo maker. If something is missing, it isn’t a paid tier — I haven’t built it yet.
I’d love brutal feedback: which tool you tried, what broke, what you still upload because this site doesn’t cover it yet.
