With the inevitable rise of web apps, we're also seeing more 'all-in-one' sites packed with basic tools that simplify users' digital lives. We've previously talked about portals like TinyWow, which offers plenty of conversion and editing options just a click away. Today, we want to add an alternative called QuickTools. There you'll find a wide range of online tools to convert images, create PDF files with them, remove backgrounds, identify colors, use special symbols, and access emoji tables, all directly in your browser.
At NeoTeo, we always try to share programs that prioritize being free, portable, and open source. However, we often find suitable replacements in the form of webapps. Obviously, most of these apps require a stable internet connection and a compatible browser, but the advantage of not having to download and install software for basic tasks is very tempting. In isolated cases, we even find offline support.
With all that in mind, we arrive at QuickTools, a portal with online tools to convert images and create PDF files with them. But those aren't the only functions. The package includes twenty tools in total, ranging from a list of emojis you can copy and paste at will, to the ability to crop videos or generate text with multiple fonts simultaneously.
How to Convert Images and Create PDFs with QuickTools
The main function of QuickTools is converting PDF documents to JPG images. The system lets you transform the entire content "page-to-photo" or customize the number of pages. However, we found a problem: there's no option to save all images as a zip file. QuickTools will let you download images one by one, but that's impractical for a document with hundreds of pages. Some Chromium flavors even limit the number of simultaneous downloads, so we recommend using Firefox here.
Something similar happens with the image compression tool. Detection speed and overall performance are excellent, but downloading all content as a zip doesn't seem to be available. Fortunately, the rest of the tools don't have these limitations. Copying symbols and emojis is extremely simple, the color identifier is on par with any basic editor, and the background removal tool delivers decent results.
In summary, the idea behind QuickTools is very interesting and generally fulfills its purpose, but it needs some "quality of life" adjustments, including zip downloads and support for accents in its special font text generator. We'll be waiting. Give it a try!
