Today speed is one of the main criteria to beat the competition. I handpicked some useful productivity apps, that might come in handy in your developer workflow.
These include anything you might need from working with images, animations, and fonts, to creating content for social media. Each tool will include a direct link, a description as well as an image preview.
1. Lorem Picsum
Lorem Picsum is a placeholder generator for pictures, with lots of customization options. Provide parameters for your images directly in the URLs.
2. Remove.bg
Remove the background of any photo automatically. Just select your image and instantly download the resulting image with the background removed.
3. PFPmaker
PFPMaker generates professional profile pics from any photo. It uses background removal AI, beautifies your photo, and generates dozens of profile pic variations automatically.
4. Compressor.io
One of the most efficient image compressors out there with a modern-looking UI.
5. CSSGradient
CSS Gradient makes it dead simple to create fresh web gradients. Includes a collection of tools to help you level up your gradient game.
6. Neumorphism.io
Neumorphic shapes look incredible but are difficult to create. This generator makes it easy to create the shapes youโve envisioned.
7. Animista
Animista is a great tool for creating custom CSS animations with various effects. Once you created your animation, generate the code and integrate it into your project.
8. FontJoy
