A local-first collection of browser tools for image compression, finance calculations, JSON, CSV, JWTs, and everyday text cleanup.

Why it surfaced

Shard Tools makes a concrete privacy promise: files are processed in the browser, with no upload endpoint and no account required. Its image utilities target unusually specific constraints such as 20KB, 50KB, and 100KB upload limits, while the directory offers enough breadth to feel like a deliberately assembled toolkit rather than a single-purpose demo.
