Free developer and utility tools
Format JSON, convert to CSV, encode Base64, generate QR codes and clean metadata — all without your data leaving the tab.
These are the small jobs that come up constantly and are annoying to install anything for: pretty-printing a blob of JSON, turning an array into a spreadsheet, encoding a string, making a QR code, or checking what data is hiding in a file you are about to send someone.
They are also the jobs where pasting into a random website is the worst habit in software. API responses contain tokens, CSVs contain customer records, and QR codes often encode Wi-Fi passwords. Every tool here runs entirely in the browser, so there is no request to intercept and no log on a server somewhere.

Questions
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in the browser tab. Your JSON, CSV, strings and generated values never leave your device.
Is there a size limit on what I can paste?
The only constraint is your browser's memory. Very large documents will be slower to process but there is no fixed cap.
Does the password generator use a secure random source?
Yes. It uses the browser's cryptographic random number generator, which is the same source the platform uses for its own security primitives.
Are these tools free?
Yes — free to use with no signup and no daily limit.
