Privacy-First Engineering

Why Client-Side Web Utilities Beat Cloud Converters

Every utility in the I Love Tools directory is engineered using modern browser technologies—including HTML5 Canvas, WebAssembly (WASM), and the Web Crypto API. Instead of uploading your private files to a remote server, all processing happens locally on your own hardware.
