The privacy problem with online tools
We've all been there. You need to convert a PDF, format some JSON, or hash a password quickly. You search for a free tool, upload your file to the first result, and then… wait.
But as a software engineer, a thought nags at the back of your mind,
- Where did my files actually go?
- is this server storing my data?
- Did I just upload sensitive metadata to a random site? Most online tools process your data on their backend. yes. this means your files leave your device, travel across the internet, and land on a server you don't control..
The solution --> Codecoffeetools.com
I build Codecoffeetools to solve this specific problem. it is a collection of professional grade developer and office tools that run 100% locally in your browser.
Why "Privacy-First" Matters?
By leveraging modern JavaScript APIs, we can perform heavy tasks—like image compression, PDF manipulation, and encryption—right on the client side.
Zero Data Leaks - Your files literally never leave your device.
Zero Latency - No upload/download time. Results are instant.
Zero Cost - Free forever, no subscriptions.

Hi everyone! I'm a final-year student and I built this because I was tired of uploading my personal data to random converter sites. I'd love to hear if there are any other tools you think I should add. Thanks for checking it out!
