Think of 123apps.com as a digital Swiss Army knife for teachers. It offers a straightforward collection of tools you can open instantly—no accounts, no downloads, no watermarks (in most cases), and minimal fuss. I rely on it throughout the year anytime I need a quick edit, a fast export, or a stress-free conversion.

Here’s a snapshot of what it can do for your classroom:

Audio Tools for Busy Music Teachers

• Need to trim an audio file in seconds?
  Audio Cutter makes it effortless.

• Creating a medley for a concert, dance routine, or class activity?
  Use Audio Joiner to merge tracks seamlessly.

• Want students to record a quick solo assessment directly into your Chromebook?
  Online Voice Recorder will save the file straight to your Google Drive.

• Want to boost or reduce specific frequencies to make classroom recordings clearer?
  Try the Online Audio Equalizer for fast adjustments.

Video Tools You’ll Actually Use

• Editing a video, but don’t want to log in or deal with watermarks?
  The Online Video Editor allows you to export up to 780p for free.

• Accidentally created a video in another program that added a watermark?
  Use Remove Logo & Watermark from Videos to clean it up.

PDF Tools for Everyday Teacher Needs

• Convert PDFs to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PNG, or HTML?
  Go to PDF Tools → Convert From PDF.

• Convert files to PDF (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PNG)?
  Head to PDF Tools → Convert to PDF.

• Do you need to merge multiple PDFs into a single, clean file?
  Try PDF File → Merge.

And if you’re wondering just how many converters 123apps offers—
The answer is 8! Enough to cover almost every quick conversion you might need during a school week.

Is There a Paid Version?

Yes. The paid version increases your daily file limit and supports larger files; however, for most classroom uses, the free tools are more than sufficient.

If you’re looking to streamline your workflow, speed up your prep time, and give yourself a few extra minutes back in your day, 123apps.com is absolutely worth exploring and bookmarking. Your future self—especially in concert season—will thank you!
