Privacy & security
Your data never leaves your device. Every tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. When you upload an image, paste text, or process a PDF — that data is handled locally, not sent to any server.
Anonymous analytics (page views, session data via Google Analytics 4) are collected. No personal information, file contents, or tool outputs are ever collected. The Currency Converter fetches live rates from exchangerate-api.com — only the source currency code is sent.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create an account?
No. ToolBrigade requires no account, no sign-up, and no email address. Every tool is available immediately.
Are the tools really free?
Yes, completely free. No hidden fees, no premium tiers for core tools, no credit card required.
Is my data safe? Are my files uploaded anywhere?
Your data never leaves your device. All tools run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. There are no servers processing your files or text.
Do the tools work offline?
Once the page has loaded, most tools work without an internet connection. The Currency Converter requires internet to fetch live rates.
Why is my browser slow when processing large files?
Since processing happens in your browser, very large files (50MB+ images or PDFs) may use significant memory. Try closing other tabs or using a desktop browser for large files.
Can I use ToolBrigade on mobile?
Yes. ToolBrigade is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. Some tools with complex UIs work best on larger screens.
A tool isn't working correctly. What should I do?
Try refreshing the page and clearing your browser cache. If the issue persists, contact me with details about your browser, OS, and what you were trying to do.
Can I suggest a new tool?
Yes. Visit the Suggest a Tool page and describe what you need.
How often are new tools added?
Regularly. Check the Changelog page to see what's been added recently.
Is ToolBrigade open source?
ToolBrigade is a proprietary project. Some tools use open-source libraries — these are credited in the tool descriptions.
