50+ Free Online Developer Tools That Run 100% in Your Browser

Every developer has been there: you need to quickly format some JSON, generate a UUID, or convert a color from hex to HSL. You Google for a tool, find one, paste your data — and wonder: is this uploading my data to some server somewhere?

Most online dev tools send your data to a backend. That's a problem if you're working with API keys, JWTs, internal configs, or customer data.

All the tools below run entirely in your browser — client-side JavaScript, no server uploads. Your data never leaves your computer.

There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and no usage limits. Just open and use.

JSON Tools

Encoding & Crypto

Generators

Conversion Tools

Text & Markdown

Validators

Why I Built This

I got tired of bookmarking 50 different utility sites. I wanted one place where everything works offline-capable, client-side only, with no tracking. The entire site is built with Astro and TypeScript — check it out on GitHub.

Quick Tips

  • Bookmark WebUtil — one shortcut for all your daily tools
  • All tools are PWA-ready — add to your home screen for offline access
  • No data leaves your browser — safe for API keys, tokens, and internal data
