Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 15, 2026
The short version: Tooldly's tools run entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to us, there are no accounts, and the tools themselves set no cookies and collect no personal data.
Your files stay on your device
Every tool on Tooldly — the subtitle converter, HEIC converter, EXIF viewer & remover, QR & barcode generator, word counter and password generator — processes your files and text 100% locally, using JavaScript in your own browser. When you drop a photo, subtitle file or text into a tool:
- it is read and processed on your device only;
- it is never uploaded to, transmitted to, or stored on any server operated by Tooldly;
- it disappears from the page's memory when you close or reload the tab.
Because we never receive your files, we cannot view them, share them, sell them, or lose them in a data breach.
No accounts, no personal data
Tooldly has no sign-up, no login and no user accounts. We do not ask for your name, email address or any other personal information in order to use the tools, and we do not build profiles of our visitors.
Like any website, our hosting provider's servers automatically receive standard technical information when your browser loads a page (such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested) in order to deliver the page and keep the service secure. This is not linked to your identity or to anything you do inside a tool.
Cookies
The Tooldly tools themselves do not set any cookies. There is nothing to remember about you between visits, so there is nothing for a cookie to do. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated first.
Advertising
Tooldly currently shows no advertising. If we show ads in the future — for example through Google AdSense — the ad provider may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, in line with that provider's own privacy policy. If advertising is introduced, this policy will be updated with details and, where required, a consent notice will be shown before any advertising cookies are set.
Analytics
Tooldly currently uses no analytics service. In the future we may use a basic, privacy-friendly analytics tool to understand which tools are popular and where visitors roughly come from, so we know what to improve. If we do, it will be configured to avoid collecting personal data, and this policy will be updated to name the service used.
Browser extensions
TabAnchor, our browser extension, is a separate product with its own listing and privacy information on its store pages and at tabanchor.tooldly.com. This policy covers the Tooldly websites and online tools.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Changes that affect how your data is handled will never be applied retroactively to files you processed in the past — those were never in our hands to begin with.
