A free TinyWow alternative that never uploads your files
TinyWow puts a lot of tools in one place, but your files go to it first. Here is what changes when they never leave your device.
What TinyWow does well
TinyWow puts a wide spread of free tools in one place: PDF tools, image tools such as a background remover, photo cleanup and an upscaler, and AI writing tools, usable without signing up. It is run by Jenni AI and is a legitimate, widely used service.
Why people look for an alternative
As of November 2026, the footer of tinywow.com says that all files, processed and unprocessed, are deleted after 1 hour. So whatever you put through it, a scanned ID or a family photo, is kept by TinyWow for up to an hour first.
The same site offers Premium for $9 a month and lists ad-free use, unlimited usage and faster processing as what it adds.
What changes with a browser-based tool
Stayput's tools run inside the browser tab, so your files are not uploaded and there is nothing to delete afterwards. Remove text from an image and remove objects fill in whatever you brush over with a small AI model that runs on your device, remove background cuts out the subject at the photo's full resolution, and upscale image makes a picture 2, 3 or 4 times bigger. Combine images, compress image, image to text, merge PDF and compress PDF handle the everyday jobs.
They are free, need no account, show no ads and add no watermark. The AI tools download their model once on first use (about 28 MB for the object eraser, about 50 MB in all for the background remover), and after that they work offline.
Where TinyWow still has the edge
TinyWow has AI writing tools, Word to PDF, photo colorizing and other tools Stayput doesn't offer today. Where the two overlap, such as cleaning text or objects off a photo, cutting out a background or merging and compressing a PDF, a browser tool does the job without the file leaving your device. On a busy photo the eraser can leave a soft patch that needs a second pass.
