About GoWebTools

GoWebTools is a collection of 112 small utilities for everyday web work: formatting code, converting data between formats, compressing images, generating passwords, reading QR codes, checking colours. Each one does a single job and does it immediately.

Everything runs in your browser

This is the part that matters. When you paste an API response into a formatter on most sites, that response travels to a server owned by someone you have never met. Here it does not: the code that does the work is JavaScript running on your own machine, and the page makes no request containing your content.

That has practical consequences beyond privacy. There is no upload wait, no file size cap set by a hosting plan, and no queue when a tool is busy. Once a page has loaded, most tools keep working with the network switched off.

A small number of tools genuinely need a server, because they ask questions about the internet rather than about your data: DNS lookups, whois, SSL certificate checks. Those are not published yet, and when they are, the page will say plainly what leaves your browser.

No accounts, no watermarks, no dark patterns

Nothing here asks you to sign up, and no result is degraded to sell you a better version. The site is paid for by advertising, kept to placements that do not cover the tool you came to use.

How it is built

Every page is static HTML generated ahead of time, so it arrives fast and works without JavaScript for reading. The interactive part of a tool loads only on the page that needs it. That is deliberate: a word counter should not cost a megabyte of framework.

Something wrong or missing?

If a tool gives a wrong answer, or you need one that is not here, tell us on the contact page. Reports of incorrect output get priority over feature requests, because a tool that quietly returns the wrong thing is worse than one that does not exist.
