I Built 145 Free Browser-Based Tools So I Wouldn't Need 10 Different Websites

Like a lot of people, I used to bookmark a different website for every small task — one for compressing images, another for merging PDFs, another for generating QR codes, another for checking word count. Most of these sites were cluttered with ads, forced you to sign up, or uploaded your files to some server you knew nothing about.

At some point I got tired of it and decided to just build my own collection of tools — all in one place, all free, and mostly running directly in the browser so files don't need to be uploaded anywhere unless it's absolutely necessary.

That turned into ConverterMint — a site with 145 tools across categories like:

PDF tools — merge, split, compress, convert to/from Word
Image tools — compress, resize, convert formats
QR code generator
Text tools — word counter, case converter, and more
Developer tools — formatters, encoders/decoders
SEO tools — meta tag checkers, keyword tools
Color tools — palette generators, converters

No signup, no login walls, no forced newsletters. Just open a tool and use it.

It's still growing — I'm adding more tools based on what people actually need, so if you try it and something's missing, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.

Would love feedback from this community — what's one tool you wish existed but never seems to work well anywhere?
