Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using ABCTools, in one place.

About the site

ABCTools is a free bilingual platform with PDF, image, text, calculator, Islamic and developer tools. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often. Every tool also has its own FAQ at the bottom of its page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all the tools free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, daily limits or watermarks.

Are my files uploaded to your servers?

No. PDF, image, text and encryption tools run inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.

Which tools need an internet connection?

The Currency Converter (to fetch rates), Speech to Text (a browser service), and the QR Reader may load an extra library. Other tools keep working offline once the page has loaded.

Do the tools work on mobile?

Yes. The site is responsive and works in modern mobile browsers — except screen recording, which mobile browsers don't support yet.

Which browsers are supported?

Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Samsung Internet. Keep your browser updated for best performance.

Can I use the tools commercially?

Yes. You may use the tools and their output in commercial work for free, subject to our terms of use.

How do I switch language?

Click العربية or English at the top of any page to jump to the same page in the other language.

How do I enable dark mode?

Click the moon icon at the top of the page; your choice is remembered.

How do I find a tool quickly?

Press Ctrl + K or / on any page to open quick search, or use the search box on the home page.

How do I save favorite tools?

Click the star on a tool page or card, and it appears under “Your favorite tools” on the home page.

Why does the site show ads?

Ads are our only funding source for hosting and development and keep the tools free. We make sure they don't get in your way.

How do I suggest a tool or report a bug?

Write to us via the contact page or at abctools.contact@gmail.com — we read every message.

Can I add the site to my phone's home screen?

Yes. Choose “Add to Home screen” in your browser menu and ABCTools appears like an app.

Are the health and finance calculators accurate?

We use established formulas, but results are estimates for information and planning and don't replace a doctor or financial adviser.
