About Ordinary Utils

Our Mission

Ordinary Utils provides free, reliable developer tools that work instantly in your browser. We believe essential utilities should be accessible to everyone without accounts, subscriptions, or invasive data collection.

Every tool is designed with two principles: speed (no bloated frameworks or slow load times) and privacy (your data stays in your browser whenever possible).

• No accounts required: Use any tool without signing up or providing personal information.
• No data storage: We don't log or store the data you process through our tools.
• Transparent advertising: If we display ads, they're clearly marked and placed away from interactive elements.
• Cookie consent: You control whether we use analytics and advertising cookies.

For complete details, see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Who We Are

Ordinary Utils is maintained by developers who wanted better tools for their own workflows. We build what we use, and we share it freely with the community.

We're always looking to improve. If you have suggestions, find a bug, or want to request a new tool, please get in touch.
