Everyday tools that never upload your files

Merge PDFs, work out a mortgage, compare two drafts, convert a spreadsheet or find a meeting time across time zones. Every tool runs inside this page, and each one explains exactly how it gets its answer.

Why local processing matters

The documents people most often need to process are the ones they least want to share: contracts, pay slips, scanned IDs, customer exports, API tokens. A typical online tool uploads the file, processes it on a server you know nothing about and sends back the result. For the jobs on this site that detour is unnecessary. A current browser can rewrite a PDF, parse a spreadsheet, hash a gigabyte file and convert time zones on its own, so that is where the work happens.

Local processing has practical benefits too. Nothing waits in an upload queue, so large files are limited by your device rather than by a server's size cap. Tools keep working on a train or a plane once the page has loaded. And there is no account, no daily limit and no watermark, because there is no server-side cost to ration.

Check it yourself

You do not have to take the claim on trust. In Chrome, Edge or Firefox press F12 (on a Mac, Option-Command-I), open the Network tab and then use any tool — merge two PDFs, paste a JSON file, generate a password. You will see the page load its own scripts and, where enabled, the advertising and analytics scripts described in the privacy policy. You will not see a request that carries your file or your text.

For an even stricter test, load a tool, switch your computer to airplane mode and use it. Everything except the ads keeps working.

What every tool page includes

  • How to use it, step by step, written against the actual controls on the page.
  • How it works: the formula, standard or algorithm behind the result, with links to the primary source — RFCs, NIST, IANA and the like.
  • Worked examples whose numbers are computed by the tool's own code and checked by automated tests before every release.
  • Limits: the situations in which the result can be wrong or surprising, stated plainly.

Guides

A tool answers one question; a real task usually needs several. These guides take one task at a time and work it through.
