I'll be the first to admit it: local, offline tools have major advantages, but I usually try to find an online solution that lets me work in the browser without installing anything extra. If you do something similar in your sessions, you might want to check out the TinyWow portal, which is packed with small tools for converting PDF, cutting or merging content, editing videos, transforming images, and even creating memes quickly.
We all have a list of favorite programs that we install without exception, regardless of the computer or available replacements. For example, we recently talked about the latest update of 7-Zip, a file compressor that many users adopted as their main option. Personally, I can add SumatraPDF as my PDF reader, and I'll never get tired of recommending KeePass as a password manager. However, sometimes we want to perform a task casually, and the idea of installing dedicated software doesn't quite close. That's when web apps come in, and one of the best packages is available at TinyWow.
TinyWow: Online Tools for Converting PDF, Text, and Images
The profile of TinyWow is ideal for mobile and laptop users. In a couple of taps or clicks you can access dozens of tools separated into five categories: PDF, Video, Image, Files, and Others. The PDF section is the most complete, with options to split, merge, compress, protect, rotate, unlock, digitally sign, and convert to JPG or PowerPoint slides. The video functions help us trim, remove audio, compress, resize, transform to WebP or animated GIF any clip we upload, and there we also find a Facebook Downloader to get videos from the social network.
The Image menu lets us convert WebP, PDF, HEIC, EPS, and SVG to more usable PNG and JPG formats for a personal environment, and includes a small editor to add text to any image. The Files section is dedicated exclusively to converting JSON, CSV, XML, and Excel, and finally, in the Others category we find a Lorem Ipsum generator, functions to transform URL content into PNG or JPG, and even a meme creator.
All files uploaded and generated on TinyWow will disappear from their servers after 15 minutes for privacy reasons, and most operations require a Captcha confirmation to prevent automation and subsequent abuse. Other than that, I must say it works quite well, and it will be an addition to our list of online resources for converting PDF and other formats.
