Tools

Each tool opens on top of this page. Files are processed on our servers and deleted automatically.

    Also available

    These two don’t have an HTTP API yet, so they open on their own pages.

      How it works

      Three steps, no sign-up.

      1. 1

        Pick a tool

        It opens on top of this page. The page behind stays exactly where you left it.

      2. 2

        Give it your input

        A URL, a file or a locale file. Everything travels over HTTPS to the service that handles that tool.

      3. 3

        Take the result

        A short link, a download, a checksum or an image. Anything stored is deleted after its retention period.

      Which tool for which job

      Start from what you want to get done.

      Privacy and retention

      Every tool is its own service and keeps only what it needs to answer your request.

      We don’t read, index or sell what you upload. The site is paid for by Google ads, which may use cookies — see the privacy policy.

      Built on open APIs

      Everything on this page is a thin layer over public JSON APIs, so you can script the same tools. Each service documents itself under /api/docs, and the guides list every endpoint.

      # shorten a link
curl -X POST https://short.net-tools.ch/api/v1/links \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/a/long/path"}'

# {"shortUrl": "https://short.net-tools.ch/s/aB3xY9"}

      Questions

      Do I need an account?

      No. Every tool works without signing in.

      What does it cost?

      Nothing. The site is supported by advertising.

      Is there a size limit?

      Yes, and it differs per tool. The compressor shows its limit when you open it; other tools report an error if a file is too large.

      Who can open my upload link?

      Anyone who has the link. Share it only with people you trust, and choose the shortest retention that works.

      Can I use the tools from my own code?

      Yes. Each service publishes its own API documentation, for example the link shortener.

      Something broke. Where do I report it?
