A TinyWow alternative that keeps files on your device
TinyWow and KazamTools are both free, ad-supported toolboxes with no sign-up. The big difference is where your files go. Here is a fair comparison.
Facts about TinyWow checked on from its public pages (sources below).
TinyWow is a free collection of PDF, image, video and AI writing tools with no sign-up, paid for by ads. Files you use are uploaded to its servers for processing; its privacy policy says they are deleted one hour after processing.
KazamTools is also free and ad-supported, but our file tools run in your browser. Your PDFs, photos and videos are processed on your device and never uploaded, so there is no one-hour window to think about. We also put more weight on calculators: finance, tax, health and math tools that show their formula and cite official sources.

Frequently asked questions
Is TinyWow safe?
TinyWow says it uses HTTPS and deletes files one hour after processing. Your file still sits on its server for that hour. With KazamTools the file never leaves your device in the first place.
Are both sites free?
Yes. Both are free and paid for by advertising. Neither needs an account for everyday tasks.
Why is the first use of some KazamTools tools slower?
A few tools, such as the background remover, download an AI model to your browser the first time. After that it is cached, and every later file starts quickly and stays on your device.
Does KazamTools have AI writing tools like TinyWow?
No. We focus on file, calculator, text and developer tools. For counting and formatting text, try the word counter or case converter.
