Hey dev community! π
I've been working on something I'm really excited to share with you all. Over the past few months, I've built Konverter - a comprehensive web developer toolkit that I wish I had when I was starting out.
What is Konverter?
Konverter is a collection of 8 essential web development tools, all built with Next.js, TypeScript, ShadCN and Tailwind CSS. Everything runs 100% client-side, so your data never leaves your browser.
The Tools
π¨ SVG to React/JSX Converter
This was actually the tool that started it all. I was tired of manually converting SVG files to React components, so I built an automated solution that:
- Optimizes SVGs using custom algorithms
- Generates TypeScript React components with configurable props
- Extracts colors and makes them customizable via props
- Shows before/after preview with size statistics
- Exports as PNG, JPG, WebP, or complete icon sets
π Password Generator
A secure password generator that creates strong, memorable passwords with:
- Customizable length and character sets
- Strength indicator
- Copy to clipboard functionality
- No server-side storage (everything stays local)
π URL Shortener
Simple but effective URL shortening tool that:
- Generates short, shareable links
- Works entirely in the browser
- Perfect for quick sharing
π Base64 Encoder/Decoder
Essential for web development, this tool:
- Converts text and files to Base64
- Supports file uploads (images, documents, etc.)
- Instantly decodes Base64 back to original format
- Perfect for embedding data in HTML/CSS
π¨ Color Generator
Extract beautiful color palettes from images:
- Upload images or provide URLs
- Automatically extracts dominant colors
- Generates CSS custom properties
- Shows color percentages and RGB values
π JSON Formatter
Clean up and validate JSON data:
- Beautify and minify JSON
- Validate JSON syntax
- Convert to YAML format
- Syntax highlighting
π― CSS Minifier
Optimize your CSS files:
- Minify CSS with size reduction stats
- Auto-prefixer for cross-browser compatibility
- Before/after preview
- Download optimized files
π± QR Code Generator
Create custom QR codes for various purposes:
- URLs, text, email, phone numbers, WiFi networks
- Customizable colors and sizes
- Instant download as PNG
- Copy to clipboard functionality
Why I Built This
As a developer, I found myself constantly switching between different online tools for these common tasks. Some were slow, others had ads, and most required registration. I wanted something that was:
- Fast - Everything runs client-side
- Private - No data leaves your browser
- Free - No registration, no ads, no limits
- Modern - Built with the latest web technologies
Tech Stack
- Next.js 14 with App Router
- TypeScript for type safety
- Tailwind CSS for styling
- shadcn/ui for beautiful components
- React Dropzone for file uploads
- QRCode.js for QR generation
- react-syntax-highlighter for code formatting
What I Learned
Building this project taught me so much about:
- Performance optimization - Making everything run smoothly client-side
- User experience - Creating intuitive interfaces for complex tools
- SEO - Making each tool discoverable and well-documented
- Accessibility - Ensuring the tools work for everyone

What's Next?
I'm planning to add:
- More export formats for SVGs
- Additional color palette tools
- API endpoints for programmatic access
- Browser extensions
Let me know what you think! π
P.S. If you find any of these tools useful, feel free to share them with your team or on social media. It really helps motivate me to keep building!
