General Questions

What is TheTechyBoy?

TheTechyBoy is a free, browser-based platform offering 100+ online tools for everyday digital tasks — including text converters, image editors, calculators, unit converters, developer utilities, and more. Everything runs in your browser with no software to install and no account required.

Are the tools really free?

Yes — all tools on TheTechyBoy are completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, subscriptions, or premium tiers. We keep the site free through non-intrusive advertising.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can use every tool on the site without registering or logging in. Simply visit any tool page and start using it immediately.

How do I find the right tool?

You can browse tools by category on our homepage or use the search bar at the top of the page to find a specific tool by name or keyword.

Tool Usage

Do the tools work on mobile devices?

Yes. All TheTechyBoy tools are fully responsive and work on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. We recommend using an up-to-date browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) for the best experience.

Is there a file size limit for image or file tools?

Most of our image and file processing tools support uploads up to 5 MB. For larger files, we recommend compressing or splitting the file before uploading. We are working on increasing this limit for select tools.

Are my files or data stored on your servers?

No. Most of our tools process data directly in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is uploaded to our servers. For tools that require server-side processing (such as PDF conversion), uploaded files are processed immediately and deleted automatically. We do not store, share, or sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Can I use the tools for commercial purposes?

Yes. You are free to use the outputs of our tools — converted files, generated text, calculated results — for personal or commercial purposes. However, you may not scrape, reproduce, or redistribute the tools themselves without written permission.

Why is a tool not working correctly?

This is usually caused by one of the following:

• An outdated browser — try updating to the latest version
• Browser extensions blocking scripts — try disabling ad blockers temporarily
• An unsupported file format — check the tool page for supported formats
• A temporary server issue — try refreshing the page or visiting again shortly

If the problem persists, please report it to us.

Privacy & Security

Do you track my activity on the site?

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent, device type, etc.). We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it via our contact form. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for more information.

Is it safe to use TheTechyBoy tools for sensitive data?

For tools that run entirely in your browser (the majority of our tools), your data never leaves your device, making them safe for sensitive content. For server-side tools, files are deleted immediately after processing. That said, we recommend avoiding uploading highly confidential documents (contracts, medical records, financial data) to any third-party online tool as a general best practice.

Do you sell my data?

No. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Please read our Privacy Policy for the full details of how we handle data.
