General
What is ToolsKit?
A collection of free browser-based tools for PDFs, resumes, studying, and productivity. No downloads, no accounts.
Is ToolsKit really free?
Yes — no trial, no "free tier," no credit card. Every tool works fully without paying.
Do I need to create an account?
Nope. Open any tool and start using it. No email required.
Privacy & Security
Is my data safe?
Yes. Most tools (PDF, text, resume) process everything in your browser. Your files never touch our servers.
Do you store my files?
No. Once you close the tab, everything is gone. We have no database of user files.
Do you use cookies?
Only essential ones — the kind every website needs to function. No tracking cookies, no ad cookies, no selling data.
PDF Tools
What PDF operations are supported?
Merge, split, compress, PDF-to-JPG, and JPG-to-PDF. All run in your browser.
Is there a file size limit?
Most tools handle files up to 100MB. Bigger than that? Split it first, then merge.
Can I merge password-protected PDFs?
Yes, but you'll need to enter the password first so the tool can unlock the pages.
Resume Tools
What is an ATS resume checker?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is the software that filters resumes before a human sees them. Our checker simulates that process so you can fix issues before submitting.
How do I improve my resume bullets?
Paste your bullet into the Resume Bullet Improver — it rewrites it with stronger verbs and suggests ways to add numbers and results.
Do you offer resume templates?
We focus on improving your content rather than providing templates. Our tools help you write better bullets, match job descriptions, and pass ATS checks.
Productivity Tools
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
Work for 25 minutes, break for 5, repeat. After 4 rounds, take a longer break. Simple but effective for focus.
How does the word counter work?
Paste or type text and it counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs in real time — plus estimates reading time.
Student Tools
What grading scales does the GPA calculator support?
Standard 4.0, weighted 5.0, custom scales, and percentage grades. Switch between them freely.
What citation formats are supported?
APA, MLA, Chicago, and Harvard — for books, websites, and journal articles.
