Question 1

Are Toolverse tools really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all 57 tools across 8 Studios are completely free with no signup, no watermark and no premium tier. The site is funded by advertising, not subscriptions.

Question 2

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. File tools like the PDF editor, image compressor, forensics lab and steganography studio run entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly and Canvas. Your files never leave your device. Only explicitly AI-powered tools send your submitted text to a processing endpoint, and it is discarded after the response.

Question 3

What is the Digital Shadow fingerprint test?

Accepted Answer

Digital Shadow is a free privacy tool that shows what any website can learn about you the moment you open it — your GPU model, screen, battery, fonts, time zone, canvas fingerprint hash and more. The scan runs 100% on your device and nothing is transmitted.

Question 4

Does Toolverse work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Toolverse is an installable PWA with a service worker — once loaded, most tools keep working without an internet connection.

Question 5

Is Toolverse open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Toolverse npm package (254 UI components and 1,052 icons) is open source under the MIT license on GitHub, and the site itself is free and ad-supported.
