20 Free Online Tools Every Developer Should Bookmark

As developers, we constantly reach for small utilities — formatting JSON, testing regex, converting timestamps, encoding Base64. Most of us end up on ad-heavy sites that are slow and clunky.

I built AItinytools.com — a collection of 20+ free, fast, browser-based tools. No sign-up, no ads wall, and most processing happens locally in your browser (your data never leaves your machine).

Here's the full list:

🔐 Security & Encryption

  • MD5 Hash Generator — Generate MD5 hashes for strings and files. Supports 32-bit, 16-bit and Base64 output.
  • SSL Certificate Decoder — Analyze any SSL/TLS certificate: issuer, validity, public key, SAN domains and full chain.

🛠 Developer Tools

  • JSON Formatter — Beautify, minify and validate JSON. 2-space, 4-space or tab indentation. Shows key counts and file size.
  • SQL Formatter — Format and beautify SQL queries with syntax highlighting. MySQL & PostgreSQL supported.
  • Regex Tester — Live match highlighting, capture groups, replace mode. Supports g, i, m, s flags.
  • chmod Calculator — Convert between symbolic (rwxr-xr-x) and numeric (755) permissions with interactive checkboxes.

🔄 Data & Format Converters

📝 Text & Code

  • Text Diff — Compare two texts with line-by-line diffs, side-by-side or unified view.

🖼 Image Tools

  • Image Compressor — Compress JPEG, PNG, WebP in browser. No upload, 100% private.
