Overview

Do you hate searching for “PDF Compressor” or “Remove Background” and landing on a site that is 90 % ads and 10 % tool?
Me too. Even worse are the sites that say “Processing…” and then ask for your email address to download the file.

So, I built Cybro Tools, a collection of 201 + utilities for developers, designers, and general users.

Core Philosophy

  • Client‑Side First – For tools like image compression, JSON formatting, or PDF manipulation, your data stays in the browser. It’s safer and faster.
  • Zero Friction – No sign‑ups, no “3 free tries.” Just open and use.
  • All‑in‑One – Instead of bookmarking separate tools for a color picker, Base64 decoder, etc., everything lives in a single UI.

What’s Included?

Dev

  • UUID generators
  • Hash calculators
  • Code minifiers

Design

  • Image converters
  • Color palettes

Hardware

  • Monitor ghosting tests
  • Vibration API tests

AI

  • Content generators
  • SQL helpers

I’m currently looking for feedback on the UI and performance. If you have a second, check it out at and let me know what you think.

Cheers!
