Frequently asked questions
Are these tools free?
Yes. The tools on this page are provided free to use. Some features, such as QR and barcode generation, load a small library from a CDN and need an internet connection.
Do I need to install an application?
No installation is required. Open this page in a modern web browser. QR camera scanning additionally needs HTTPS, camera permission and browser support.
Are my inputs uploaded to a server?
Most text, calculation and color operations run directly in your browser. Camera scanning uses your device camera after you grant permission. Avoid entering confidential or sensitive information into any online tool unless you have reviewed the site and its privacy practices.
Can I rely on every result without checking?
Use results as practical assistance and verify important technical, financial, legal, publishing or business decisions independently. Some tools perform simplified checks or estimates, as explained in their instructions.
