webutils.io is a free collection of small developer tools that all run locally in the browser. nothing gets uploaded. no account is required. no network round-trip on any of the actual processing.
this is not a directory of third-party tools. every tool on webutils is built and maintained by me. no affiliate links, no outbound redirects to someone else’s site. you click a tool, it opens, it runs in your browser, that’s the whole flow.
what’s in it
60+ tools across seven categories:
- code & development: flexbox generator, npm script builder, css cubic bezier, code line counter, regex tester
- design tools: favicon generator, color converters, gradient generator
- image & media: image compressor, image resizer & crop, format converters
- file processing: pdf merger, file converters
- text tools: case converters, ascii art generator, fake data generator
- security & crypto: hash generators, encode/decode utilities
- utilities: small one-offs that don’t fit anywhere else
most popular at the moment: flexbox generator, pdf merger, fake data generator, favicon generator, image compressor.
why it works in the browser
every tool processes inputs client-side. the file you drop into the pdf merger never leaves your laptop. the image you feed the compressor isn’t sitting on a server somewhere. that constraint shapes which tools belong on the site. anything that genuinely needs a backend lives elsewhere.
it’s a deliberate trade-off: less flashy, but no privacy surface and no hosting cost per user.
status
live, in beta. ~200-300 visits a day. tools get added when i need one and can’t find a clean version of it elsewhere.
the goal is “i need a quick X” → google → find it on webutils → done. no friction, no email gate, no spinner that’s actually a server upload.
