Privacy & Security

Is my data safe when using these tools?

Absolutely! Your data is completely safe because all our tools process information entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files, text, and data never leave your device or get uploaded to our servers. This architecture ensures maximum privacy, security, and speed while eliminating any risk of data breaches or unauthorized access to your sensitive information.

Do you store or collect the files I upload?

No, we do not store, collect, or have access to any files you upload or data you process. All file processing happens locally in your browser's memory, and once you close the page or refresh, everything is cleared. We have no servers that receive your files, and we cannot see what you're working on, ensuring complete privacy for your sensitive documents and data.

Can I use these tools offline?

While our tools require an initial internet connection to load the page, all processing happens locally in your browser. Once loaded, many tools can continue working even if you lose connection temporarily. For true offline use, your browser may cache recently visited pages, but we recommend staying connected for the best experience and access to all features.

What analytics or tracking do you use?

We use Vercel Analytics to track basic page views, user engagement metrics, and performance data to help us improve the site and understand which tools are most valuable. We also use Google AdSense for advertising, which may use cookies for ad personalization. We do not track individual files, content you process, or personally identifiable information. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Are these tools safe to use with sensitive or confidential data?

Yes, because all processing happens entirely in your browser, these tools are safe for sensitive data. Your information never touches our servers or travels across the internet during processing. However, as with any web application, ensure you're using a secure, up-to-date browser, avoid using public or shared computers for highly confidential work, and always maintain your own backups of critical data.

Tool Usage

How do I use a specific tool?

Each tool page includes clear instructions and intuitive interfaces designed for ease of use. Most tools follow a simple pattern: upload or paste your input data, configure any available options, and click the process/convert/generate button. Results are displayed immediately, with options to download, copy, or share. For specific tool guidance, visit the tool's page where you'll find helpful tips and usage examples.

Can I use multiple tools at the same time?

Yes! You can open multiple tool pages in different browser tabs and use them simultaneously. Since all processing happens locally in each tab's browser context, there's no conflict or performance degradation. This is particularly useful for multi-step workflows, such as converting a file format in one tab while generating content in another.

Do tools work on mobile devices?

Most of our tools are mobile-responsive and work well on smartphones and tablets. However, some tools (especially those involving large file processing, complex conversions, or extensive editing) may perform better on desktop devices due to screen size and processing power. We continuously optimize for mobile experiences, but for the best results with complex tasks, we recommend using a desktop or laptop computer.

Why is my tool processing slowly?

Processing speed depends on several factors: your device's processing power, browser performance, file size, and the complexity of the operation. Large files or complex tasks naturally take longer. To improve speed, try using a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari), closing unnecessary tabs to free up memory, breaking large files into smaller chunks, or using a more powerful device for intensive tasks.

Can I bookmark specific tools for quick access?

Absolutely! We encourage bookmarking your frequently used tools. Each tool has its own unique URL that you can save in your browser bookmarks or share with colleagues. Consider creating a bookmark folder for your favorite tools to build a personalized toolkit. You can also visit our Tools Directory page to browse all available tools by category.

Technical Questions

Which browsers are supported?

Our tools work best on modern, up-to-date browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Brave. We recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser for optimal performance, security, and access to all features. Older browsers or Internet Explorer may not support all functionality due to missing modern web APIs.

Are there file size limits for uploads?

File size limits depend on your browser's memory capabilities and device performance rather than server restrictions, since all processing is client-side. Most modern browsers can handle files up to several hundred megabytes, but very large files (1GB+) may cause slowdowns or browser crashes. For best performance, we recommend keeping individual files under 100MB and splitting larger files when possible.

What file formats are supported?

Supported formats vary by tool. Common formats include: text files (TXT, CSV, JSON, XML), images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG), documents (PDF - viewing/processing), data formats (JSON, YAML, XML, CSV), and code files (JS, CSS, HTML, MD). Each tool's page lists its specific supported formats. If you need a format that isn't currently supported, contact us with your request.

Why do some tools require specific permissions?

Some tools may request browser permissions to function properly. For example, clipboard access for copy/paste functionality, file system access for downloading results, or camera/microphone access for media tools. These permissions are standard browser security features and are only used for the tool's intended functionality. We never request permissions beyond what's necessary for the tool to work.

Can I integrate these tools into my own website or application?

Currently, our tools are designed for direct web access only and don't offer API access or embeddable widgets. However, since all our tools are client-side, you could implement similar functionality in your own projects using the same web APIs and libraries. If you're interested in partnership opportunities, business integrations, or bulk licensing, please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Do tools work without JavaScript enabled?

No, JavaScript is absolutely required for our tools to function. All our utilities are built using modern JavaScript frameworks (SvelteKit) and rely on client-side processing. If you have JavaScript disabled in your browser settings, the tools will not work. Please enable JavaScript in your browser preferences to access all functionality.

Troubleshooting

A tool isn't working. What should I do?

First, try refreshing the page and attempting again. If that doesn't work, clear your browser cache and cookies, then reload. Ensure you're using a modern, updated browser and that JavaScript is enabled. Check that your file meets any format or size requirements listed on the tool page. If problems persist, try a different browser or device to isolate the issue, and consider reaching out through our contact page with specific error details.

I'm getting an error message. What does it mean?

Error messages typically indicate specific issues like unsupported file formats, files that are too large, invalid input data, or browser compatibility problems. Read the error message carefully as it usually explains what went wrong. Common solutions include: checking your file format matches what's supported, reducing file size, verifying your input data is valid, or trying a different browser. If the error persists and seems like a bug, please report it.

The tool processed my file but the output looks wrong. Why?

Incorrect output can result from several issues: the input file may be corrupted or improperly formatted, you may have selected incorrect conversion settings, or the file may contain features not supported by the conversion process. Try re-checking your source file for integrity, verifying all tool settings and options are correct, testing with a simpler or different input file, or saving your source file in a more compatible format before processing.

My browser crashed or froze while using a tool. What happened?

Browser crashes or freezes typically occur when processing very large files that exceed your device's available memory, running too many browser tabs simultaneously, or using an outdated browser version. To prevent this, close unnecessary tabs before processing large files, break large files into smaller chunks if possible, ensure your browser is updated to the latest version, or try using a device with more RAM for memory-intensive tasks.

Can I recover my work if I accidentally close the page?

Unfortunately, no. Since all processing happens in your browser's memory and we don't store any data, closing or refreshing the page clears all your work. We recommend downloading or copying your results immediately after processing. For important work, consider periodically copying your output to a safe location, keeping your source files as backups, or using browser features like "reopen closed tab" if you accidentally close a page before saving.

Features & Development

How often are new tools added?

We regularly develop and add new tools based on user feedback, trending needs, and technological advancements. While we don't have a fixed schedule, we typically introduce several new utilities each month. To stay updated on new tool releases, bookmark our Tools Directory page where new additions are featured, or check our homepage regularly for announcements of the latest utilities.

Can I request a new tool or feature?

Absolutely! We love hearing from our users and many of our tools were created based on community requests. If you have an idea for a new tool or feature enhancement, please reach out through our contact page with details about what you need and how it would help you. While we can't implement every request, we carefully consider all suggestions and prioritize those that benefit the widest audience.

Why don't you have a mobile app?

We focus on providing a responsive web experience that works across all devices rather than platform-specific apps. This approach allows us to: maintain a single codebase that works everywhere, avoid app store restrictions and fees, enable instant updates without waiting for app store approvals, and ensure you always have access to the latest features through any web browser. Our web-based tools are designed to work seamlessly on mobile devices without requiring separate downloads.

Will you add batch processing capabilities?

Batch processing (handling multiple files at once) is on our development roadmap for several tools where it makes sense. Implementation depends on browser memory limitations and ensuring a smooth user experience. Some tools may already support multiple files, while others are better suited for single-file processing. We're continuously evaluating which tools would benefit most from batch capabilities and working to add this feature where it provides genuine value.

Do you have an API I can use programmatically?

Currently, we don't offer a public API since our tools are designed for direct browser interaction and client-side processing. However, if you have specific enterprise or developer needs requiring API access or bulk processing capabilities, please contact us to discuss potential custom solutions. Many of our tools use open-source libraries and web APIs that you could implement in your own projects for programmatic use.
