Simple tools for specific problems
No unnecessary sign-ups, no clutter. Each tool does one thing and does it well.
Top Tools is a collection of free web tools, built to solve one specific problem with zero friction: no account creation, no installs, no unnecessary steps. Each tool lives on its own subdomain, with its own instructions and FAQ. Browse the full catalog below — new tools will keep being added over time.

Why Top Tools exists
Most "free" tools online aren't really free: they ask you to create an account before you can use anything, they watermark your result unless you upgrade, or they quietly upload your files to a server you know nothing about. We built Top Tools because we kept running into that friction ourselves and got tired of it.
Each tool here is built around one rule: do the one thing it promises, well, with the least friction possible. ExactSize compresses your video or GIF to an exact file size entirely inside your browser — nothing is ever uploaded anywhere, so a 2 GB clip never leaves your computer. QRPro generates static QR codes for free with no account and no limit, and only asks you to sign up if you specifically need a dynamic code you can edit after printing. LoanClarity runs the full amortization math for a mortgage or loan comparison instantly, without collecting your name, email, or any financial detail.
We keep the lights on with a small, clearly labeled ad at the bottom of this page — not with your data, and not by gating basic functionality behind a paywall. New tools get added to the collection over time, each following the same approach.
Frequently asked questions
Are these tools actually free?
Yes. Every tool has a free tier that's genuinely usable on its own — not a crippled trial. Some tools (like QRPro) offer an optional paid plan for extra features such as editable dynamic QR codes or detailed analytics, but the core free functionality isn't a bait-and-switch.
Do I need to create an account?
Not for most things. ExactSize and LoanClarity need no account at all. QRPro's static QR generator works with no account too — you only need one if you want a dynamic QR code that you can edit after it's printed, since that requires somewhere to store the destination.
Do you store or see my files?
ExactSize processes video and GIF compression entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your file is never uploaded to any server. LoanClarity's calculations also run locally. Each tool's own privacy page has the specifics for that tool.
How is this different from other free tool sites?
Most tool aggregator sites bury the actual tool under ads, fake "Download" buttons, and multi-step redirects. Each tool here lives on its own clean subdomain with just the tool, a short explanation, and an FAQ — no dark patterns, no misleading buttons.
Will more tools be added?
Yes, the collection grows over time. Each new tool goes through the same bar: it has to solve one real problem well before it gets added here.
