Manufactured scarcity, refuted in code.

The main page argues that a lot of scarcity is not physical but manufactured — kept artificial because someone profits from the gate. The cleanest way to argue with that is not to write more; it is to take a thing that is paywalled and simply give the free version away. These tools run entirely in your browser.

Back to the arithmetic · the open letter

Image editor →

runs in your browser · no upload · no account · free

Crop, rotate and flip, adjust brightness / contrast / saturation / hue / blur, apply grayscale / sepia / invert, resize, undo and redo, and export PNG, JPEG, or WebP — all on your device via the Canvas API. It does what subscription image editors charge roughly $120–260 a year for. There is no server; your image is never sent anywhere.

Image compressor & converter →

runs in your browser · no upload · no account · free

Batch-shrink, resize, and convert images to JPEG, WebP, or PNG, with before/after file sizes so you can see exactly what you saved. The same job that metered "free" sites gate behind sign-ups and upload limits — here it is unmetered, and your images never leave the device.

QR code generator →

runs in your browser · no watermark · no expiry · free

Encode any URL, text, Wi-Fi login, or contact card into a QR code and download it as a clean PNG or SVG. Many "free" QR sites watermark the code, gate the download behind a sign-up, or make the code expire unless you pay monthly — a pure case of manufactured scarcity, since a QR code is just math. This one runs the full encoder on your device; nothing is uploaded and nothing expires.

Color contrast checker →

runs in your browser · WCAG 2.1 · no account · free

Check any text/background color pair against the WCAG 2.1 accessibility standard: the exact contrast ratio, AA/AAA pass-fail for normal and large text, a live preview, and a one-click suggestion for the nearest color that passes. Whether text is legible to people with low vision is a published formula, not something that should sit behind a design-suite subscription.

Password generator →

offline · cryptographic RNG · shows real entropy

Strong, random passwords generated on your device with the browser's cryptographic random-number generator, with honest entropy and crack-time estimates. No ads, no "premium" tier, nothing sent anywhere — the opposite of the ad-choked generators a search turns up.

More tools will land here over time — each one a small, concrete refutation of the idea that these capabilities have to be rented. If you build one in the same spirit (one file, client-side, no tracking, public domain), open a pull request.
