Free tools with no credit card
Nothing to cancel, nothing that silently renews. You can finish a job and walk away.
16 tools match.
01PerplexityAnswer engine, not a chatbot. Worth it if you need sources you can click, and the free Pro-search allowance is small.
02PoeOne subscription, many models. The free daily points are enough to compare models before committing to any of them.
03PDF24 ToolsGenuinely unlimited free PDF tools, including an offline installer. The most generous tool on this list.
04TinyURLFree, no account, no expiry, no click limits. The least annoying link shortener still running.
05Can I UseThe reference for browser support. Faster than reading MDN compatibility tables when you just need a yes/no.
06CodePenBest free place to sketch front-end ideas. Free accounts can only publish public pens, which is fine for demos and bad for client
07DevDocsOne search box across a hundred documentation sets, works offline. The single best free tool on this list for daily development.
08GitHubFree private repos and 2,000 CI minutes a month. For a solo developer that is a complete toolchain at zero cost.
09JSON FormatterFormat, validate and minify JSON. Runs entirely in your browser.
10Password GeneratorGenerate strong random passwords locally — nothing leaves your device.
11Stack OverflowStill the fastest answer for error messages, as long as you read the dates. Anything older than about three years may describe a f
12AlibabaFree to browse and request quotes. The cost is minimum order quantities, not the platform.
13FiverrFree to browse, and often cheaper than doing it badly yourself. Watch the buyer service fee, which is added at checkout.
14WooCommerceThe plugin is free forever. The store is not — hosting, domain and a couple of extensions are unavoidable costs.
15TinyPNGBest compression quality per byte. Free web tool handles 20 images at a time, 5 MB each.
16UnsplashFree photos you can use commercially without attribution. The catch is that everyone else uses them too.
How this list is filtered
