Getting started

Introduction to ntoola

A quick tour of what ntoola is, who it is for, and how the product is structured.

ntoola is a suite of privacy-first document tools that run entirely in your browser. Convert, extract, OCR, and export files with zero uploads and zero server round-trips.

Who ntoola is for

  • Legal teams handling confidential contracts and case files.
  • Finance teams processing invoices and statements.
  • Compliance and DPO teams that cannot allow uploads to third-party servers.
  • Anyone tired of ad-heavy free converters that hold files hostage behind a paywall.

How it is built

ntoola runs on TanStack Start, React 19 and a small collection of best-in-class open-source libraries — pdfjs-dist for PDF parsing, tesseract.js for OCR, docx for Word output, xlsx for spreadsheet output. Everything renders in the user's browser.
