The best tools to make your day easier

Here is our selection of tools that are easy to use and offer a good range of possibilities.

1

PDF editing and signing

pdf.24eme.fr →

It’s a question we hear a lot: how do I edit a PDF? SignaturePDF offers a solution that is both easy to use and complete — sign documents, organise pages, edit metadata or efficiently compress large files.

Pros

  • Digitally sign and fill in a document, even without form fields
  • Tick boxes (quizzes, forms…)
  • Easily add a watermark
  • Reorder, merge, delete or rotate pages
2

QR code generator

qr-code-generator.org →

To create a custom QR code: add Async to your contacts, point to your website or make it easy to join your guest Wi-Fi. The QR codes generated are static and self-contained — they don’t depend on any third-party service.

Pros

  • Quick, simple generation
  • Plenty of configuration options
  • Guaranteed to keep working over time

Cons

  • No scan statistics
  • No built-in tracking or analytics
3

Image editing

photopea.com →

Photopea is a full-featured alternative to Photoshop, available online with no installation. It supports many formats (PSD, XCF, Sketch, SVG, JPG, PNG) with an interface very close to Photoshop’s.

Pros

  • 100% online
  • Works with PSD files
  • Free for standard use

Cons

  • Ads in the free version
  • Performance depends on the browser
4

Flowcharts and diagrams

app.diagrams.net →

diagrams.net (draw.io) is a free, open-source alternative to Visio. At Async, we use it to design our infrastructure diagrams and call flows for phone systems.

Pros

  • Free, open source, no account needed
  • Online or as a desktop app
  • Large library of shapes and templates
  • Export to PNG, PDF, SVG, XML…

Cons

  • Interface can feel busy at first
  • Real-time collaboration limited depending on storage
5

Password manager

keepassxc.org →

KeePassXC lets you create, store and manage all your credentials in a single encrypted file, protected by a master password. Open source and regularly updated, it works entirely offline.

Pros

  • Free and open source
  • Local storage: no data sent to third parties
  • Strong, proven encryption
  • Windows, macOS and Linux

Cons

  • Access requires the database file
  • No built-in sync
6

File format conversion

vert.sh →

Turn an image into an icon, convert audio to another format: vert.sh does it all without sending your files to an external server (except for videos).

7

Watermark

async-it.ch/filigrane →

A tool we built to quickly and simply add a watermark to a document. Everything happens locally in your browser: no data is sent.
