40+ tools. No limits. No paywall. No file uploads. Here's how it works and why you can trust it.
FileMint is a one-person project built to provide genuinely useful file tools that respect your privacy. It costs very little to run because your files are processed in your browser β not on our servers. That means no expensive cloud infrastructure, no storage costs, and no reason to paywall features.
Static site hosted cheaply
No server processing costs
Consent-based ads cover hosting
Yes. All 40+ tools are free with no daily limits, no file size caps, and no account requirement. There is no "Pro" or "Premium" tier to upsell you to.
There is no catch. FileMint is sustained through non-intrusive advertising that only loads if you consent to cookies. We never sell your data, never paywall features, and never add watermarks.
Yes. There are no plans to add a paid tier. If premium features are ever added in the future, they would be optional additions β existing tools will remain free.
All file processing happens in your browser using open-source libraries like PDF.js and Sharp. Your files never leave your device. You can verify this in your browser's network tab β no file data is sent to any server.

Because your files are processed in your browser using WebAssembly, FileMint doesn't need expensive servers to handle file conversion. This keeps operating costs near zero.
Non-intrusive ads are shown if you accept cookies. Ads never interfere with tool functionality. If you block ads or decline cookies, all tools still work exactly the same.
FileMint is built and maintained by a single developer. No investor pressure, no growth targets, no incentive to lock features behind a paywall.
