QuickTooly

Changelog

Every new tool, data update, and refinement - tracked here.

QuickTooly is a growing collection of free online tools for working with images, PDFs, text, code, data conversions, and social media. This changelog is the single source of truth for every change we ship - from brand-new tool categories down to quiet quality improvements and accuracy refinements.

Every entry is versioned and linked directly to the relevant tool category so you can immediately start using whatever is new. Whether you discovered QuickTooly last week or have been using it for months, this page tells you exactly what has changed, what was improved, and what was removed - and why.

What's New in 2026

2026 has been the most active year in QuickTooly's history. We launched six dedicated tool categories, consolidated overlapping utilities into cleaner unified tools, completed a full site redesign, and pushed the first wave of revalidated tool sets across image, PDF, and text processing. Below is the full ordered list - newest first.

Tool Categories We Update

QuickTooly organises every tool into six focused categories. Each category is actively maintained - new tools are added, existing ones are validated for accuracy, and anything that no longer meets our quality bar gets removed rather than left to drift. Here is what each category covers.

Image Tools

The image tools category covers everything you need to process, convert, and optimise images entirely inside your browser - no upload to a server, no account required. Tools include format converters (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF), image resizers, background removers, colour pickers, and metadata strippers. All processing happens client-side using the Web Canvas and File APIs, which means your images never leave your device. In 2026 we revalidated the entire image toolset and expanded it with several new utilities focused on web optimisation workflows - particularly around converting images to modern formats that improve Core Web Vitals scores.

PDF Tools

The PDF tools category provides utilities for merging, splitting, compressing, and converting PDF documents without a third-party cloud service. We added new tools in the first batch of 2026 releases, then followed up with a full revalidation pass that tested every tool against a corpus of real-world PDFs - including heavily formatted documents, scanned PDFs, and password-protected files. Accurate page-count reporting, reliable merge ordering, and consistent compression ratios were the key quality benchmarks. The category is especially useful for anyone who regularly works with invoices, contracts, or reports and needs a private, free alternative to cloud-based PDF processors.

Text Tools

The text tools category is one of the broadest on QuickTooly, covering word counters, character counters, case converters, whitespace cleaners, duplicate-line removers, lorem ipsum generators, and more. In 2026 we added a new batch of tools focused on content workflows - including readability checkers and text diff utilities - then ran a revalidation pass on the full set to fix edge cases around multi-byte characters, RTL text, and copy-paste artefacts from different operating systems. Text tools run entirely in the browser, so pasting sensitive content like legal documents or internal communications carries no privacy risk.

Developer Tools

The developer tools category was launched in early 2026 as a dedicated home for utilities that developers reach for daily: JSON formatters and validators, Base64 encoders and decoders, URL encoders, UUID generators, hash generators (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256), regex testers, and JWT decoders. These tools are built to the precision standards that developers expect - correct output is non-negotiable. Because they run in the browser with no network requests, they are safe to use with API keys, tokens, and other sensitive strings that you would not want to paste into a third-party web service. All input and output stays on your machine.

Convert Tools

The convert tools category handles unit and data conversions across a wide range of domains: length, weight, temperature, time units, currency reference rates, number base conversions (binary, octal, hexadecimal), and more. A key improvement in 2026 was the consolidation of three separate time utilities - minutes-to-hours, minutes-to-days, and a seconds converter - into a single unified Time Units Converter that handles all time relationships in one place. This simplification reflects our ongoing effort to reduce tool sprawl: instead of maintaining three near-identical pages, one well-built tool does the job better. The convert category is particularly popular with students, engineers, and anyone working across metric and imperial measurement systems.

Social Media Tools

The social media tools category is one of the newest additions to QuickTooly, launched in two separate releases in 2026. It covers tools specifically designed for social media content workflows: character counters for platform-specific limits (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram), hashtag generators, image resizers calibrated to the exact pixel dimensions required by each platform, and bio formatting helpers. Social media managers, content creators, and marketing teams are the primary audience - these are utilities that would otherwise require a paid subscription to a social media management platform, but which QuickTooly provides for free with no sign-up and no data collection.

How We Build and Maintain QuickTooly Tools

Every tool on QuickTooly goes through the same development and validation process before it is shipped and listed in this changelog. The process starts with identifying a genuine use case - a task that people perform regularly, that requires accuracy, and that should not require uploading personal data to an external server.

Once a tool is built, it is tested against a wide range of real-world inputs: edge cases, malformed inputs, large files, special characters, and platform-specific variations. For numerical tools - unit converters, calculators, hash generators - we cross-reference output against authoritative reference sources and validated implementations. We do not ship a tool until its output matches the expected result consistently.

After launch, tools are periodically revalidated. Browser APIs evolve, file format specifications update, and user feedback surfaces edge cases that initial testing did not catch. The "Updated" entries in the changelog above reflect these revalidation passes - not just cosmetic changes, but substantive accuracy and reliability improvements.

All tools are built to run entirely in the browser. There are no server-side processing requests, no file uploads, and no analytics attached to individual tool usage. The only data collection on QuickTooly is standard anonymised page-view analytics - your inputs stay on your device.

This approach is intentional. A tool that handles your PDF, your code snippet, or your API token should not need to see it on our servers. Browser-side processing is not a limitation - it is the architecture we chose because it is the right one for a privacy-respecting toolset.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does QuickTooly release new tools?

QuickTooly ships updates on a rolling basis rather than on a fixed release schedule. New tools and tool categories are added when they are ready - when they have been tested, validated, and meet our quality bar. In 2026 we have averaged multiple meaningful releases per month. The changelog above is updated with every release, so bookmarking this page is the simplest way to stay current. There is no mailing list or RSS feed at present, but that is on our roadmap.

Are QuickTooly tools free to use?

Yes - every tool on QuickTooly is completely free to use. There is no pricing tier, no freemium model, no credit system, and no sign-up required. You open a tool, you use it, you get your result. QuickTooly is supported by advertising, which keeps the tools free for everyone without any compromise to the no-account, no-tracking design philosophy. We do not sell user data, and there is no paid upgrade path because we are not trying to convert you into a subscriber.

How do I know when a new tool is added?

The best way is to bookmark this changelog page and check back periodically. Every new tool, category launch, and significant update is logged here in reverse chronological order with a version number and a direct link to the relevant section of the site. If you are looking for a specific type of tool and it does not exist yet, you can use the contact page to suggest it - user requests directly influence what we build next.

What types of tools does QuickTooly offer?

QuickTooly currently offers tools across six categories: image processing tools (format conversion, compression, resizing), PDF tools (merge, split, compress), text tools (word count, case conversion, cleaning), developer tools (JSON formatting, encoding, hashing), unit converters (length, weight, temperature, time, number bases), and social media tools (character counters, image sizers, bio formatters). All tools run in your browser with no file uploads and no sign-up required.

Is my data safe when using QuickTooly tools?

Yes. QuickTooly processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript and Web APIs. When you upload an image, paste a code snippet, or input any data into a QuickTooly tool, that data never leaves your device - it is not sent to our servers, not logged, and not stored anywhere. This is the fundamental architectural decision behind QuickTooly: client-side processing is not a compromise, it is the right model for a tool that respects your privacy. The only external request your browser makes when using QuickTooly is loading the page assets themselves - your actual inputs stay local. This makes QuickTooly safe to use with sensitive files, internal documents, API keys, and any other data you would not want to pass through a third-party cloud service.
