There are no accounts

You cannot sign up, and there is nothing to sign into. We do not ask for your name or email to use any tool.

Most tools never send anything

Calculators, converters, password tools, image tools and the interpreters that read pasted diagnostic output all run entirely in your browser. Your files, passwords and pasted text are processed locally and are never transmitted. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's network panel and use the tool — there is no request carrying your data, because there is no endpoint to receive it.

The tools that do make a request

A small number need the network to work at all:

• DNS lookups send the domain you typed directly from your browser to public resolvers run by Cloudflare and Google. Those queries do not pass through our servers, so we never see which domains you look up.
• Connection details (IP address, approximate location, network operator) are read at Cloudflare's edge from the connection you already made by loading the page. They are returned to you and markedno-store, so they cannot be cached and served to anyone else. They are not written to a database — there is no database.
• Site checkers request the URL you supply from our infrastructure, because a browser cannot read another site's response. The URL is used for that request and is not logged.

Pages that handle secrets

Password, passphrase, encryption, hashing and checksum pages carry no advertising and no third-party scripts, and ship a Content-Security-Policy that blocks outbound connections entirely. This is a security requirement, not a courtesy: any script on the page can read what you type into it, so an ad-supported password tool is a real vulnerability.

Even so, the safest habit is not to type a genuine password into any website, this one included. Test with something of the same shape instead.

Diagnostic output and metadata

Pasted diagnostic output often contains serial numbers, hostnames and sometimes usernames. It is parsed in your browser, and identifiers are stripped from anything a tool offers you to download or share.

Image tools re-encode your file locally, which removes all EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates. That is usually a benefit worth knowing about — but it also means capture dates and camera settings are lost.

Advertising

Some pages carry advertising and affiliate links, disclosed where they appear, and we may earn a commission from them. Ad networks set their own cookies and follow their own policies, which we do not control. No advertising runs on the secret-handling pages described above.
