161 small, single-purpose utilities that run entirely in your browser.

free · no account · no upload · works offline once loaded

This is a collection of small, single-purpose web tools that run entirely inside your browser. There is no account, no upload step and no server-side processing: the JavaScript that does the work is downloaded once with the page, and your files, text and numbers stay on your own device from beginning to end.

That architecture is a deliberate constraint rather than a slogan, and it shapes what these tools can and cannot do. On the good side, there is no queue, no file-size cap imposed by someone else's disk quota, and nothing to leak later — you can compress a folder of client photos, decode a production JWT or work out a salary figure without any of it becoming an entry in a log somewhere. You can also disconnect from the internet after a page loads and keep using it. On the other side, the ceiling is your device: a browser tab has finite memory, and video encoding in particular runs on the CPU rather than dedicated hardware, so a desktop application will still beat the browser on very large jobs. Where that trade-off bites, the relevant category page says so plainly.

The tools are grouped below by what they do. Each category page explains the underlying mechanics — what is lossless and what is not, which standard a tool is measuring against, where an estimate's error bars sit — before listing the tools themselves.

Common questions

Are these tools free, and what is the catch?

They are free to use, with no account, no trial and no feature held back behind a payment. The site carries advertising, which is what funds the hosting and the time spent building them. There is no upsell, and no tool stops working after a number of uses.

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

Neither. Open a page and use it. Nothing is installed, no extension is required, and there is no account to create because there is no server-side state to attach an account to.

Do the tools work on a phone?

Most do, and the layouts are built for small screens. The memory-hungry ones — video compression, very large images, long audio files — are limited by how much a mobile browser will allocate to a tab, so they can fail on older phones where a laptop would manage fine.

What actually happens to the files I open?

They are read into the page with the File API and processed in memory. There is no upload request, and you can confirm that in your browser's developer tools by watching the Network tab while you work, or simply by going offline after the page has loaded and carrying on.

Who builds and maintains these?

Alion Tech Studio — an independent software engineering studio. The same engineering notes that inform these tools are published in our insights section, and you can read more about the studio or get in touch.
