Z Tools

Developer tools backed by reproducible tests

Focused utilities for inspecting, converting, generating, and preparing digital data. Most tools process input locally in your browser, and the claims behind them are tied to published first-party test results.

Measured Base64 overhead at 10,000 bytes

The committed run produced 13,336 Base64 characters from 10,000 deterministic input bytes. The Lab also shows why 1- and 2-byte inputs have much larger padding overhead.

7 cases

JSON native-parser edge cases

The suite records actual behavior for Unicode, trailing commas, BOM input, invalid escapes, a large integer, and 100-level nesting rather than claiming generic “validation.”

21:1

Known WCAG contrast pair

Black on white is one of five committed reference pairs used to check the same relative-luminance math exposed by the Color & Contrast tool.

PHP GD image-codec results

The image suite records baseline bytes, output bytes, codec availability, and savings for JPEG, PNG, and WebP settings on a deterministic fixture—with explicit limits on what those numbers prove.

See image results

The Lab renders result files committed with the source. It does not expose a public “run benchmark” endpoint, and timing measurements are labeled with their exact runtime instead of being presented as universal browser performance.

Tool directory

Use the tool, then inspect how its behavior is verified

Every tool keeps a stable URL. Processing labels distinguish browser-local workflows from the Image Compressor's temporary server workflow.

Privacy claims are scoped to what the code actually does

Local processing

10 tools keep primary working data in the browser

JSON, JWT, Base64, Hash, URL, Markdown, QR, Password, Case, and Color perform their primary transformations client-side. Their tool algorithms do not POST the working input to a processing API.

Temporary server processing

Image Compressor uploads by design

Images are processed by PHP GD. Uploads use randomized session-bound names; downloads are token-protected and temporary image files are cleaned within 5 minutes.

Review build

No Google advertising runtime is loaded

The current review build uses the AdSense account meta tag plus ads.txt for publisher association. Visible ad slots and the Google advertising script are not enabled.

Independent product

Small enough to show the evidence

Z Tools is independently built and maintained. Public changes are recorded in the changelog, benchmark environments are published in the Lab, and weak or overlapping guides are kept out of the public index until they add distinct value.
