We build tools.
We use them ourselves.
That's the whole point.
StackFlow Tools started as a personal solution to a work problem. It became something bigger than that — but it still runs the same way it started. One tool at a time, built because someone actually needed it.
It started with a deadline,
a CDR file, and no CorelDRAW.
Late at night. Client waiting. A CDR file sitting in my inbox that I could not open because my CorelDRAW trial had expired three weeks earlier and renewing it would cost more than the project was paying me. I spent the next two hours going through every free CDR converter I could find on Google. Most of them did not work. The ones that did work wanted me to pay. The one that was actually free had a file size limit I kept hitting.
I delivered the work eventually — after converting through four different tools, losing quality along the way, and staying up until 2am on what should have been a two-hour job. The whole thing was ridiculous. I am a developer. I could build a better CDR converter than any of those sites. So I did.
"I was not thinking about building a product. I was just annoyed. The CDR converter was a weekend project. Then someone asked for a background remover, so I built that. Then an image compressor. At some point I realized I was building a toolkit — I just had not planned it that way."
— Sohaib Khan, Founder
That is genuinely how StackFlow Tools started. Not a business plan, not an investor pitch, not a market research exercise. A frustrated developer who kept solving the same category of problem: tools that should be free, that work properly, that do not make you sign up for anything.
The part I had not anticipated was how many people in Pakistan were dealing with the exact same frustrations. Designers who get CDR files from clients but cannot afford CorelDRAW. Freelancers on Fiverr who need to remove backgrounds but will not pay for Photoshop. Students who need to compress photos to under 200KB for a university portal that rejects anything larger. The problems are everywhere. The good free solutions are not.
Professional software costs money.
Not everyone has it. That is a problem.
Let me be direct about something: the tools on this site were built primarily for people who cannot afford the expensive alternatives. Adobe Creative Cloud costs around $600 a year. CorelDRAW is $500 a year. These are the tools that professional graphic designers are supposed to use — but for a lot of people in Pakistan and across the developing world, those prices are simply not realistic.
That does not mean the work still does not need to get done. Clients on Fiverr and Upwork do not adjust their expectations based on your software budget. A client in the UK asking for a logo still expects the same result whether you are working in London or in Lahore. The pressure to produce professional quality work with tools you can barely afford is something most international clients never think about.
So people find workarounds. Pirated software with viruses bundled in. Free tools with watermarks that make the output unusable. Trial versions that expire at the worst possible moment. We have all been there.
StackFlow Tools is our attempt to fix a small part of that problem. The individual tools that freelancers and designers need to deal with specific problems — converting a file format, removing a background, compressing a photo, upscaling a logo — those we can build. And we can build them properly, for free, without watermarks or signup forms or file size tricks.
Built one tool at a time.
Never stopped.
Built in a weekend out of frustration. Was not supposed to be a website — was supposed to solve one specific problem one time. Shared it with a few designer friends. They started using it daily and sending it to other people.
The image compressor was built because clients kept sending large photos that needed to go under 200KB for government portal uploads. The cropper because social media dimensions are always changing. The rotation tool because phone cameras are still saving photos sideways in 2026 and it drives everyone insane.
These took longer to build properly. The challenge was doing all the processing inside the browser so files never get uploaded to a server. Your images never leave your device. Worth the extra time to get it right.
The Free Fire and PUBG name generators because Pakistan has tens of millions of mobile gamers and there was no good tool built specifically for them. The YouTube tag generator and TikTok tools because a lot of Pakistani creators are building audiences on these platforms without the resources that bigger creators have. Same logic as always — someone needed it, there was no good free option.
The focus is firmly on image tools, file converters, and format utilities — the things people search for every day and still can not find a properly free version of. More format converters, more compression options, more AI-powered tools that run entirely in the browser. The pipeline is full and we are not slowing down.
Every tool on this site,
updated as we build.
This list updates as new tools go live. We are adding tools regularly — contact us to request one.
Three rules we set early
and have not broken.
The AI tools — background remover, image upscaler — run entirely inside your browser. Your images never get sent to our server. We are not storing them, we are not analyzing them, we do not want access to them. The processing happens on your device and when you close the tab, it is gone. This was a deliberate technical decision, not an afterthought.
We have all used tools that advertise themselves as free, let you upload your file, and then put a paywall in front of the download button. That is not free. That is bait. Every tool on this site lets you complete the full job — upload, process, download — without paying, signing up, or hitting a hidden limit. If that ever changes, we will say so clearly instead of hiding it.
Most people in Pakistan — and a significant portion of users worldwide — do their work on phones, not laptops. Every tool gets tested on a mid-range Android before it gets tested on a desktop. Not as an afterthought — as the primary test. A tool that only works smoothly on a MacBook is not a tool built for the people who actually need it.
We are nowhere near
done building.
The plan is more image tools and file converters — not random tools thrown online to fill space, but tools that solve real problems people actually search for every day. More format converters for file types that nobody else bothers supporting. A live dollar-to-PKR converter because Pakistani freelancers check that rate every morning before pricing their services. PDF tools because everyone needs to merge, split, or compress PDFs at some point and most free tools for this are genuinely terrible.
We are also building tools that are not specific to Pakistan — SEO utilities that small website owners can actually use without paying for Ahrefs, writing tools that help with clarity, and more AI-powered image tools that run entirely in the browser without sending your files anywhere.
If you need something that is not here yet — a specific tool, a specific file format, a specific conversion — send us an email. That is how most of the existing tools started. If the request makes sense and would be useful to enough people, we will build it.
We read every message.
Every single one.
Whether a tool is not working the way it should, you have an idea for something new, you want to report a bug, or you just want to say the site has been useful — we want to hear it. This is a small team and your feedback directly shapes what gets built next.
