About Adawaty.

Adawaty — from the Arabic word for "my tools" — is a free collection of 66 student utilities: PDF, images, writing, and study helpers, with one rule: every tool works the same way, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no artificial limits designed to upsell you.

Wherever possible, tools run entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device. The heavier jobs (document conversion, OCR, background removal) run on our server and are deleted automatically within an hour.

Who runs Adawaty

Adawaty is an independent project — built and maintained by a solo developer, not a company. It's free to use, with no accounts and no paywalls; the plan is to keep it that way by running ads (none are shown yet — see our Privacy page) instead of charging visitors. Questions, feedback, or press: reach us at [email protected].
