Grabio - File & Media Toolkit : 39 iPhone File Tools · Compress PDF, HEIC→JPG, Remove BG, QR, Ringtone · Free

The file utility your iPhone should have shipped with. One tap from the iOS share sheet. No app to install. No login. iOS 16 and later. If you have an iPhone, you have probably already had one of these days. Learn More The WhatsApp video that wouldn't send because it was a few MB over the limit. The college portal that demanded a PDF under 200 KB and rejected every upload. The HEIC photo you sent to your Android friend that opened as nothing. The Instagram product photo that needed a clean white background, and the only app that did it well wanted 13 dollars a month. The Wikipedia article you wanted to read on the train that needed an account in three different apps to save offline. The custom ringtone you tried to make and finally gave up on after twenty minutes of GarageBand. These are the boring, real iPhone moments that quietly eat fifteen minutes a week. Grabio is the Apple Shortcut I built so I would stop having those days. Install it once. Thirty-nine file utilities live inside your iOS share sheet for the next year. No App Store download. No sign-up. No watermark on anything.

Free vs Pro Free, forever: 23 utilities, 5 actions per day No watermark on any output No login, no email signup Same privacy posture as Pro 5 actions a day is enough for most people, most weeks, forever. If you occasionally compress a photo for a form or save a webpage to read on the train, Free is the only tier you ever need. Pro, 3 dollars / month (or 30 dollars / year): Everything in Free 30 actions per day (six times the Free cap) 16 additional Pro-only features 7-day money-back refund, one click Auto-renews until you cancel Cancel anytime from your purchase email Billed in USD. Sales tax, VAT and GST handled automatically. Priority queue when the server is under heavy load Pro is for people who hit the daily cap repeatedly or need AI, video, or batch features. Etsy sellers running daily uploads. Students mid-application season. Privacy folks scrubbing whole photo libraries. Why 3 dollars a month and not free I am one developer. Grabio runs on a real server in Germany. Every action costs something on that server: ffmpeg burns CPU on every compress/convert (200ms for a photo, 5–30s for a video) rembg AI model uses a full CPU core for 2–4s per background removal Headless Chrome spins up half a gigabyte of RAM for every webpage-to-PDF Bandwidth, disk, Redis, monitoring on every request If I run Grabio with no cap, the server crashes when a few hundred users hit it heavily. The 5/day Free cap is the only thing that lets me serve thousands of users on one rented machine. 3 dollars/month Pro funds server upkeep, monitoring, AI hosting, and my time keeping Grabio running without investors, ads, or selling data. 3 dollars a month is the minimum that means I don't have to take VC money and reverse-engineer the privacy posture later. If 5/day works for you, stay Free, forever. That promise is real. Privacy posture (same for Free and Pro) No login. No email required for Free. Device identifier hashed with SHA-256 before it touches the server. No IP stored long term. Used for rate-limit window only, discarded within an hour. Files processed in memory or in a permission-locked temp folder, deleted within 1 hour. No third-party analytics tied to you. Plausible (self-hosted, cookieless) for aggregate page views only. No ads. No data resale. Open-source transparency repo with runnable verifier: github.com/adityaarsharma/grabio What Grabio is not Grabio is not a social media downloader.
