ToolBasket is a collection of free web tools. We do not create accounts and we do not ask you to sign in. Each tool may process the inputs you submit in order to return a result.

What we store
Successful caption responses for YouTube Transcript may be cached briefly on the server to speed up repeat views. Cache entries expire automatically. Client-side tools such as PDF Merge, PDF Split, PDF Compress, and QR Code Maker do not send your files or text to us. We do not keep a personal archive of the content you process, and we do not sell data.
Third parties
YouTube Transcript requests go to YouTube for metadata and captions. Their policies apply to that traffic. PDF Merge, PDF Split, PDF Compress, and QR Code Maker do not call third-party APIs with your files or text.
