How ToolForge works

Every tool is registered once in a central registry with its category, capability and metadata. Pages, search, navigation and structured data are generated from that single source.

Tools are labelled by capability: in-browser tools compute entirely in your tab, server tools run a request on our edge runtime, and provider tools need third-party data.

Files and privacy

Image and PDF tools decode your files with the Canvas API, pdf-lib and pdf.js inside the browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.

Text tools keep their input in component state only. Recently used tools are stored in your browser's local storage and never sent anywhere.

Provider adapters

Keyword volume, backlink graphs, DNS records and uptime checks cannot be derived locally. Those tools render a provider panel that documents the adapter and credentials they expect.

Adapters implement a shared interface with strict hostname validation and rate limiting before any outbound request is made.

Tool catalogue

57 tools across 13 categories.

• Text & AI Tools

  Count, convert, condense and inspect written content. Everything that can be computed locally runs in your browser; anything that needs a language model states that up front.

• Design Utilities

  Colour maths and CSS scaffolding for interface work: convert between colour spaces, build palettes and copy production-ready declarations.

• Image Tools

  Compress, resize, crop and convert raster images with the Canvas API. Files are decoded in the browser tab and never uploaded.

• Keyword Tools

  Analyse the keywords you already have and connect a metrics provider for volume, difficulty and ranking data.

• Backlink Tools

  Link-graph reporting shells. Backlink data cannot be derived locally, so each tool documents the index it expects.

• Website Management

  Generate the files and directives that control how crawlers move through a site, plus link housekeeping helpers.

• Website Tracking

  Performance, indexing and availability checks. These read live third-party signals, so they run through a configured provider.

• Domain Tools

  Registration, DNS and hosting lookups for any hostname, with strict hostname validation before a request leaves the server.

• Meta Tag Tools

  Write and audit the head markup that decides how a page looks in search results and social previews.

• PDF Tools

  Merge, split, rotate and convert documents locally with pdf-lib and pdf.js. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

• Developer Tools

  Encoders, formatters, hashes and identifiers for day-to-day engineering work, all computed client-side.

• Calculators

  Deterministic maths for dates, durations, money and everyday percentages.

• Miscellaneous Tools

  Generators and converters that do not belong anywhere else but get used constantly.
