About TinyFileLab
Last updated: 28 July 2026
TinyFileLab is an independent, one-person project — not a company, not a startup, and not a front for a paid product. It is a collection of small file tools that do one job each and do it without asking anything of you.
Why it exists
Almost everyone has hit the same wall: an application form that will only accept a photo under 100 KB, a portal that demands exactly 35 × 45 millimetres, a scan that is three megabytes too large. The existing tools for this are usually covered in ads, hand you a quality slider and let you guess, and quietly upload your identity documents to a server in another country to do work that your own phone could have done in a second.
This site is the version of those tools that I wanted to exist: you type the number the form demands, and you get a file that fits.
Nothing is uploaded — and that is architectural, not a promise
Every tool here runs in your browser using capabilities the browser already has. There is no upload endpoint, no file storage and no server-side processing, because the site is nothing but static files on a content delivery network.
You do not have to take that on trust. Open any tool, turn off your wi-fi or mobile data, and use it. It will work, because the file never needed to go anywhere.
The practical consequences: no queue, no daily limit, no maximum file size beyond what your device can hold, no watermark, and no reason to ask you to register.
How it is paid for
Advertising, and nothing else. There is no premium tier, no email list, no upsell, and no data sold to anyone. The advertising is served by Google; how that works, and how to opt out of personalised ads, is explained in the privacy policy.
Running costs are close to zero — static hosting and a domain name — which is exactly why the tools can stay free and unlimited without needing to squeeze you.
What it does not do
These tools handle file size, dimensions and format conversion. They do not check whether your passport photo satisfies an embassy's rules on expression, lighting or head position, and they are not a substitute for reading the requirements on your own form. The terms of use set that out properly.
Where it is going
New tools are added regularly, and they are chosen by what people actually search for rather than what is easy to build. If a tool you need is missing, or an existing one gets something wrong, telling me is the fastest way to change that — the contact page reaches me directly.
