About Widget.tools
Widget.tools is a collection of 46 free online tools for everyday image, PDF, code, and text tasks — no account, no install, and no file upload required for any of them. Every tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs (Canvas, Web Crypto, and similar), so your files and text never travel to a server. That also means there's no daily usage limit, no watermark added to your output, and no waiting on a queue.
The tools are grouped into six categories: image tools for converting, compressing, cropping, resizing, and blurring photos; PDF tools for converting, merging, splitting, compressing, and signing documents; coding tools for developers, including formatters, hash generators, and encoders; CSS tools for visually building gradients, loaders, and other CSS; text tools for quick everyday text tasks; and color tools. Whether you need a quick online tool for a one-off task or a browser-based tool you reach for often, everything here stays free.
