Why this site exists
Most online text tools are wrapped in advertising, cookie banners, account prompts and upload forms. Many of them send the text you paste to a server, which is a strange thing to do with a contract, a draft article or a list of customer addresses. Others are so heavily scripted that they take seconds to become usable on a phone.
This site takes the opposite approach. Each page loads a small stylesheet and one JavaScript file, then does all the work locally. There is no upload, no account, no tracking and no cookie notice, because there is nothing to disclose.
What is on the site today
-
Text Formatter
Clean up text in one click: remove extra spaces and tabs, trim every line, delete blank lines and fix line breaks. Free, private and runs in your browser.
-
Case Converter
Convert text to UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case or Sentence case instantly. Unicode-aware, so accented letters and non-Latin scripts convert correctly.
-
Duplicate Line Remover
Remove duplicate lines from a list while keeping first-occurrence order. Choose whether case and whitespace matter, and whether to sort the result.
-
Word Counter
Count words, characters with and without spaces, lines and paragraphs as you type. Includes reading time and the ten most frequent words in your text.
Four tools is deliberate. Each one is finished, documented and tested rather than one of forty half-working pages, and each page explains the exact rules it applies so you can predict the result before you paste anything.
How it is built
| Markup | Hand-written HTML5, rendered by shared PHP templates. |
|---|---|
| Styling | One plain CSS3 file using custom properties. No framework, no preprocessor, no utility classes. |
| Text processing | Vanilla JavaScript in a single file, with no runtime dependencies. |
| Server side | PHP 8 rendering templates only. It never receives, parses or stores the text you paste. |
| Data store | None. There is no database and no server-side storage of any kind. |
| Third-party code | None. No analytics, no fonts loaded from a CDN, no advertising, no chat widget. |
The practical result is a site that fits comfortably on ordinary shared hosting, needs no build step to deploy, and has no supply chain to keep patched beyond PHP itself.
How the tools are tested
The text transforms are pure functions with no DOM dependency, which makes them testable
directly. They are checked against edge cases including empty input, input that is only
whitespace, Windows, Unix and legacy Mac line endings, mixed scripts, emoji and combining
marks, duplicate lines that differ only in case or in invisible trailing spaces, and very
long inputs. Where a rule could reasonably go two ways — whether Apple equals
apple, for example — the choice is documented on the tool page rather than left
to guesswork.
Limits and honest caveats
- Everything needs JavaScript. The tools run in the browser, so if scripts are disabled you will get the pages and their documentation but no working tools. The pages themselves are plain HTML and remain readable.
- Sentence case cannot restore proper nouns. It capitalises the start of each sentence; names that were lowercase stay lowercase. Always give that output a read.
- Very large inputs are limited by your device. Since nothing is sent anywhere, the ceiling is your browser's available memory rather than a server quota.
- No accounts or sync. Text is not saved between visits, on purpose. Copy anything you want to keep before closing the tab.
