Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Our guides walk through each tool step by step, or contact us.
Is ToolsCampus really free?
Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no watermark on your files and no limit on how many times you use them.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use every tool straight away. A free account gives you bigger files (50 MB and 100 pages instead of 25 MB and 50 pages), keeps your edited PDFs in My Files for 60 days, and unlocks the content tools in the PDF editor, such as Smart text edit, paragraphs, headings and tables.
Are my files uploaded to your servers?
Most tools, including Merge, Split, Compress, Convert, OCR PDF, Remove background, Collage maker and Thumbnail maker, run in your browser, so your files never leave your device. The text recognition tools (Image to Text, Handwriting to Text, Image to Excel, Image to Word, PDF to Text, PDF to Word and PDF to Excel) read your file on our own server: it is kept in memory only, never saved, and deleted as soon as it has been read. The PDF editor saves your document on our server so you can keep working on it: guest files are deleted after 24 hours, and account files stay in My Files for 60 days unless you delete them sooner.
Where does the AI run?
Background removal, the collage and thumbnail AI, OCR PDF and Smart text edit run on your device: the first time you use one, your browser downloads the AI model once and keeps it. The text recognition tools (Image to Text, Handwriting to Text, Image to Excel, Image to Word, PDF to Text, PDF to Word and PDF to Excel) run on our own server because they need more power than a browser has; your file is never stored and is deleted automatically. No outside AI service ever receives your files.
Does editing change my original file?
No. You always download a new copy. The file on your computer or phone stays as it was.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. ToolsCampus works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
