Running a small business means juggling a dozen subscriptions you barely use. $10/mo for a PDF editor. $8/mo for an image resizer. $12/mo for a video trimmer. It adds up fast — and most of us only use 10% of the features.
A few months ago I found brevtool.com and it replaced almost all of them. It's a free website with 86 browser-based tools — and I mean actually free. No "free trial." No credit card. No account needed.
Here's what I use it for every week:
📄 PDF tools — Merge contracts, split invoices, compress PDFs before emailing clients. I used to pay for SmallPDF.

🖼️ Image tools — Resize product photos for social media, compress images for my website (page speed matters for SEO), convert between formats. Replaced my Canva Pro image exports and TinyPNG subscription.
🎬 Video editor — Trim and cut clips for Instagram Reels and TikTok. Basic editing without installing anything. No watermark on exports.
🔗 QR code generator — I print QR codes on business cards, flyers, and packaging. Used to use a paid QR service.
🧮 Business calculators — Loan calculator, percentage calculator, unit converters. Small things, but I use them constantly.
🔧 Dev/text tools — JSON formatter, word counter, case converter, Base64 encoder. If you manage a website yourself, these save time.
The thing that sold me: everything runs inside your browser. Your files never get uploaded to anyone's server. For someone who handles client contracts and sensitive business documents, that matters. I don't want my NDAs sitting on some random company's cloud.
It's not perfect — the video editor is basic compared to CapCut or Premiere. But for quick social media clips and everyday business tasks? It handles 90% of what I need at 0% of the cost.
If you're bootstrapping or just tired of death-by-subscription, bookmark this one: brevtool.com
