32 free browser tools that never upload your file
Kestrel StudioEvery tool runs on your own machine. The file you drag in is never sent anywhere — no upload, no account, no quota, no watermark. That is not a marketing line here: the page has no network call in it, so you can open devtools and watch nothing leave.
What is in it
- Image compression and format conversion, in-browser
- JSON formatter and validator
- Base64, URL encoding, JWT decoding
- Hash generators — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256

- A page for every tool, each with the command you would otherwise type in a terminal
Why bother when a CLI exists
Because most of these jobs happen once, on a machine where nothing is installed, for someone who is not going to open a shell. The value is not the algorithm — it is that the algorithm is one click away with no install and no data leaving the laptop.
The sites themselves are audited by the checker above and score 100/100, which is the only claim worth making about a page whose whole selling point is that it works.
