No upload for browser-side tools, no logging for server-side ones, no watermark or signup ever.

Summarize, translate, chat, transcribe — powered by Claude.
Privacy-respecting AI tools powered by Anthropic Claude. Summarize URLs and articles, translate documents, chat with PDFs, transcribe audio, and check grammar. Inputs are sent directly to Anthropic's API, processed without storage, and results returned to you — no third-party data brokers, no training on your content, no shadow profile.
Developer Tools
Format, encode, hash, validate — all the daily dev utilities.
Free developer utilities that run entirely in your browser. JSON formatter, Base64 codec, JWT decoder, hash generator, regex tester, UUID generator, and more — every tool is client-side JavaScript so your tokens, payloads, and secrets never leave your tab. No tracking, no upselling, no account required.
Text Tools
Word count, case convert, lorem ipsum, slug, diff.
Free text utilities for writers, editors, marketers, and anyone working with documents. Count words and characters for SEO articles, convert case (UPPER, lower, Title), generate Lorem Ipsum placeholder text, create URL slugs, and compare two text blocks side-by-side. Browser-side and instant.
Calculators
QR code, password, age, currency, tip, BMI.
Free everyday calculators and generators. Build QR codes for menus and links, generate strong passwords, compute age and date differences, convert currencies with live rates, calculate tips and BMI. All browser-side and free of ads inside the tool itself.
Privacy by design
Most tools run entirely in your browser. Your files, JSON tokens, passwords, and text never upload to a server. Server-side tools (PDF compression, AI) are explicitly labeled and delete inputs immediately.
No quota, no signup
Smallpdf limits free users to 2 tasks/day. Sejda allows 3 per hour. Pickrack has no daily limit, no task counter, no signup wall — use as much as you need.
Open-source where it matters
Browser-side tools are auditable. Underlying engines (pdf-lib, qpdf, Ghostscript, LibreOffice, Calibre, Tesseract) are all open-source so the code is verifiable.
