# About ToolSugar

ToolSugar is a free collection of 87 online tools for video, audio, photos, PDF, text, code and study. It requires no account and has no watermarks, ads or paid plans.

## What you can do

You can remove the background from a photo, split a song into vocals and instrumental, compress a video, transcribe a recording, read text aloud, merge PDFs or convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG. The [full list of tools](https://toolsugar.com/tools) has the rest.

## How it stays free

Most tools run in your browser on your own device, which keeps your files with you and keeps running costs low. AI tools run in your browser too, with 5 free runs per rolling 24 hours for each visitor. Only What Is My IP uses our server.

## What runs where

Tools process your files on your device. AI tools download their models the first time you use them, from about 20 MB to about 630 MB, then your browser caches them. The [privacy policy](https://toolsugar.com/privacy) lists what each kind of tool sends and who receives it, and the [terms of service](https://toolsugar.com/terms) cover the rules for using them.

## Open models

AI tools use open models that run in your browser, such as Whisper, Kokoro, Qwen2.5 and m2m100. Small models can make mistakes, so check the results.
