Feet and Inches to Centimeters: Height Explained

A height like 5′10″ is a pair of numbers, not a decimal: five feet plus ten inches, with the feet converting at 30.48 centimeters and the inches at 2.54. The arithmetic, the four mistakes that corrupt height records, and the settings where precision actually matters are below; to convert one height in either direction, the height converter linked from this guide gives the exact pair instantly.

Favicon Sizes: What Your Website Actually Needs

A favicon is one small square of artwork that a browser requests at particular sizes, so a site needs a few purpose-built renditions rather than a single export scaled into every slot. Which pixels each context asks for, why a multi-size .ico still earns its place, and how the pieces are declared is below; to build the whole set from one image, the favicon generator linked from this guide produces the files and the tags.

ASCII Art: How Text Pictures Are Made

ASCII art is a picture assembled from ordinary printable characters, with each glyph's weight standing in for a pixel's brightness. The style grew out of typewriters and bulletin boards and never left, because plain text renders everywhere. How the mapping works and which controls shape it is below; to draw a banner from a word rather than an image, the ASCII Text Generator on this site renders it in a classic font.

Do Image Converters Upload Your Photos?

A converter that runs inside the page decodes your file into memory and re-encodes it there, so nothing is sent anywhere and you can check that claim yourself in the Network tab. That is a different promise from a server-side tool, where the photo lands on hardware you do not control. What each format costs, and how to verify it, is below; to convert a file now, the PNG to JPG converter linked from this guide works in the browser.

PX vs REM vs EM: Which Unit Belongs Where

px ignores the font size a reader has set, rem follows the root element, and em follows the parent, so nesting em compounds while rem never surprises you. That single difference is the whole accessibility case for font-size guidance, and it is what decides where each unit belongs in a layout. The rule of thumb, the arithmetic and the traps are below; to convert one specific value, the PX to REM converter linked from this guide does it instantly.

Why BrowserTools?

Your files stay yours

Other converters upload your photos and documents to servers you can't see. Here, conversion, compression and background removal all happen on your own device — private by architecture, not by promise.

No paywalls, no accounts

Every one of the tools is free with no signup, no email, no watermark and no daily limit. Bookmark the ones you love and use them forever.

Fast on any connection

Pages are static and lightweight, tools load on demand, and most of them keep working even if your connection drops mid-task.

About BrowserTools

BrowserTools is a collection of free online browser tools that run entirely on your own device. It exists because everyday tasks — converting an image, merging a PDF, checking a hash, or generating a password — should not require uploading files to a server, signing up for an account, or waiting for a page to load. Nothing here asks for your email, and nothing is stored on a remote server. What you paste, drop, or type stays in your browser tab and is gone when you close it.

Most tools process everything locally using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so they keep working even with a spotty connection. A small number of network tools — such as IP lookup and speed test — necessarily contact a service, and each of those says exactly what it sends on its own page. The site is for anyone who wants quick, private tools without an account: developers, students, designers, and anyone handling personal files they would rather not upload.
