Online tools for free

Anyone looking for productivity-related Web apps should visit www.sciweavers.org. The sheer variety of free online tools available on the website is mindboggling. No registration is required, you don't need to download any software components and there's no waiting or limits on the number of times you can use each tool.

The naming conventions behind the tools might be a bit silly (they're collectively known as Sci2ools) but you can't argue with honest functionality. So, do you need to convert any webpage into a printer-friendly, downloadable PDF file? iWeb2Print will do it for you in two quick steps.

How about converting a webpage into a high-resolution image (any format of your choice), splitting a PDF file into smaller files or merging multiple PDFs into one? iWeb2Shot, iPDF2Split and iPDF2Merge are the tools you need.

The optical character reader (i2OCR) reads text from an image and converts it into an editable text file. The i2Type tool has an on-screen keyboard that lets you type in over 50 languages (including Indian languages) and download the text as a Word document.

And some of the more basic tools allow you to convert images from one format to another, convert almost any file to a PDF and choose from hundreds of symbols to use in a text file, email or social networking site. The only thing left to do is bookmark the URL instantly for later use.
