Every QR site wanted a login, so I built 500+ free tools

by•

Last month we were at a client's café, setting up their new POS system. We'd also brought printed self-order QR codes as a sample, hoping to sell them that feature too.

We scanned one in front of them. Nothing. The QR code didn't work.

We had the right link, so all we needed was a new QR code, fast. But the café's public Wi-Fi was barely working. We opened one QR generator after another. Each one let us type the link and design the code, then asked us to log in before we could download it. That happened on the first ten sites. We tried "Sign in with Google," and it wouldn't even load on that Wi-Fi.

Something that should take five seconds turned into an embarrassing few minutes in front of a client. I was honestly mad at myself.

So I built the site I wish I'd had that day: 500+ small, free tools for QR codes, PDF merge/split, image compress/convert, voice and screen recording, calculators and converters.

- No login, no email. Ever.

- Your files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser.

- No watermarks, no limits.

Because it all runs in your browser, it costs me almost nothing to host. That's why it can stay free with no sign-up.

Please try a few random tools and roast it. What's broken? What's missing? I'm also thinking about open-sourcing it. Would you use it or contribute?
