Useful web tools, free in your browser.

A growing collection of hand-built tools — count words, check link previews, pull text out of an image, pick a colour and more. Nothing to install, no account, no tracking; just a few ads I would rather you did not block.

The Tools

All of my web apps live on the tools page — Word Counter, Open Graph Viewer, OCR, the Color Picker, and whatever else I add as I need it. Nine so far, all free, and none of them need an account or an install.
