About UtilityGet

A free collection of online tools built for developers, designers, and everyday people who value their privacy.

Our Mission

UtilityGet exists to provide genuinely useful tools that respect your privacy. In a web full of tools that require you to create accounts, upload your files to servers, or sit through ads before doing anything - we wanted something different.

Every tool on UtilityGet runs entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device. There's no server processing your files, no database storing your inputs, and no account required. We believe a small utility - whether it's formatting a bit of JSON or compressing an image - shouldn't cost you a signup, your email, or a second of your patience.

Our aim is simple: when you land on UtilityGet, the tool you came for should be on screen, working, and done in under a minute.

About the Developer

Hi, I'm Kalindu — an indie developer based in Sri Lanka, and the person behind UtilityGet.

I built this site out of frustration. Every time I needed something simple — to compress an image, format a JSON blob, or run a quick mortgage calculation — I'd end up on a site demanding an email signup, asking me to upload files to someone else's server, or sitting through video ads before showing me a result. For small utilities that should take five seconds, the web felt broken.

So I started building the kind of tool site I actually wanted to use: every tool runs locally in your browser, nothing gets uploaded, no accounts, no paywalls. My background is in shipping privacy-first software, and UtilityGet is an extension of that philosophy applied to the small utilities most of us reach for several times a week — calculators, converters, formatters, and image tools.

What's next: I'm expanding UtilityGet into business and startup utilities — tools for pricing math, runway planning, margin calculations, and the kinds of quick numbers indie founders and small teams need without opening a spreadsheet. If there's a tool you wish existed, email me — tools get added almost entirely based on what users ask for.

How UtilityGet Works

Every tool on this site is implemented in plain JavaScript that runs inside your web browser. When you paste JSON into the JSON formatter, the text is parsed and re-formatted by code running on your own computer. When you compress an image, the image bytes are processed locally using the browser's built-in image APIs. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is stored.

This approach has three big benefits:

  • Privacy - sensitive content like passwords, internal JSON, or unreleased images stays on your device.
  • Speed - no upload/download round-trip means results are usually instant, limited only by your device's processor.
  • Offline capability - once loaded, most tools continue to work without a network connection thanks to our service worker and PWA manifest.

What We Build

We focus on tools that people use regularly across seven categories:

Privacy First

🔒 Your data never leaves your browser

We designed UtilityGet with a strict privacy-first philosophy. Unlike many online tool sites, UtilityGet does not require - or even offer - an account. There's nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into, and no profile associated with your use of the tools.

Here is exactly how we handle data:

  • All tool processing runs client-side in JavaScript - never on a server we control.
  • Files are never uploaded. The tools use the browser's File API purely for local reading.
  • Inputs and outputs are not stored or cached beyond the lifetime of the browser tab.
  • No account creation, login, or email collection is required to use any tool.
  • We use Google Analytics only for aggregate, anonymised traffic data (page views, device type). See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Who Uses UtilityGet

Our tools are used every day by software developers debugging an API response, designers grabbing a colour palette, finance professionals running a quick mortgage comparison, writers counting the words in a draft, and students calculating their age for a school project. The common thread is that none of those people should need to hand over an email address or wait for a file upload just to get a quick answer.

If you're here for a specific task - converting a unit, generating a password, merging a PDF - you should be able to do it and leave within 30 seconds.

Always Free

UtilityGet is and will always be free to use. There are no paywalls, no "pro" tiers, no watermarks on exports, and no usage limits.

If you find our tools useful, the best way to support us is to share them with others who might benefit. Word of mouth is what keeps small, independent utility sites like this one alive.
