      <title>I built 20+ free tools that run 100% in your browser — your files never leave your device</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I got tired of sketchy "free converter" sites that upload your files to who-knows-where before doing anything. So I built QuickTools: 20+ tools where every single thing runs client-side. Paste a JWT into a formatter? It never touches my server, because there is no server.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's in it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;HEIC to JPG converter&lt;/strong&gt; (batch, for iPhone photos) — uses heic2any&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Strong password generator&lt;/strong&gt; — uses WebCrypto, not Math.random&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Image compressor / resizer / to-PDF / PDF merger&lt;/strong&gt; — pdf-lib for the PDF work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Word counter, case converter, text cleaner, extractive text summarizer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Percentage, age, salary, compound interest, discount calculators&lt;/strong&gt; + a "days from today" date cluster&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The whole thing is static — no build step, no backend, no database. Everything is verifiable in dev tools: open any tool, watch the network tab stay silent. Hosting is free (GitHub Pages), so the tools stay free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try it: &lt;a href="https://mtansari8765lab.github.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://mtansari8765lab.github.io/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(Not affiliated with Picsart's QuickTools — just an unlucky similar name.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'd genuinely like feedback: which tools are actually useful, and what should I add next? The password generator and the HEIC converter are the ones I'd bet on.&lt;/p&gt;
