About yutils

yutils is a free, search-first collection of developer and everyday utilities you can use instantly in your browser.

yutils brings together the tools you reach for most — JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, JWT decoder, and more — on a single static / SSR site. No install, no signup; land on a tool from a search result and start using it immediately.

Operating principles

  • Data is processed in your browser

    Whenever possible, conversions and computations run in client-side JavaScript, and your input is not sent to any server. This is the default for privacy, speed, and operating cost. Tools that genuinely need an external API show a clear badge at the top of the page.

  • Designed around search-first entry

    Most users arrive by typing something like 'json formatter' into Google and landing directly on a tool page. Every tool gets its own URL, meta tags, OG image, and JSON-LD structured data, and the actual tool UI is visible above the fold — no long preamble.

  • White background by default + 12 light theme presets

    A plain white background is the default to keep long sessions easy on the eyes, paired with 12 curated light theme presets and a dark mode. Your selection lives in browser localStorage and is never sent to a server.

  • Free, minimal ads, no sign-in

    yutils is free to use without any sign-up or login. To cover hosting costs, ads may appear on some pages — but only in positions that don't crowd out the tool UI above the fold.

Tech stack

Next.js App Router · React · Tailwind CSS · next-intl · Cloudflare Workers (@opennextjs/cloudflare). Heavy libraries are loaded lazily per tool so they never bleed into other tool pages.
