Getting Started with Craftisle Tools

A quick walkthrough of Craftisle's tool categories, how tools work in your browser, and what you can do without signing up.

You need to resize a PNG, extract a ZIP, or format some JSON — and you don't want to install anything. That's the scenario Craftisle was built for.

Here's what you can do right now, with no account.

The 10 tool categories

Craftisle organizes 62 tools into these groups:

  • Image — Resize, crop, convert, compress, remove backgrounds. PNG → WebP takes under 2 seconds for a 1MB file.
  • Encryption & Hashing — AES encrypt/decrypt, MD5, SHA-256, bcrypt hash. All processing happens in your browser via Web Crypto API.
  • Formatters — JSON, HTML, CSS, SQL, XML. Paste messy code, get linted output.
  • Converters — Units, timezones, color formats, number bases. Practical, not flashy.
  • Text — Case converter, diff checker, Base64 encode/decode, lorem ipsum generator.
  • Network — IP lookup, user-agent parser, subnet calculator.
  • Utilities — Pomodoro timer, stopwatch, coin flip, color wheel spinner.
  • Generators — QR codes, UUIDs, password strings, random numbers.
  • Developer Tools — JWT decoder, regex visualizer, cron parser. Built for people who type localhost:3000 daily.
  • Other — Markdown preview, HTML visual editor, handwriting animation.

Each tool is a single-page app. No multi-step wizard, no 3-page onboarding. Pick a tool, use it, leave.

No data leaves your browser

Craftisle runs tools client-side. Your file uploads, passwords, and API keys never hit a server. The trade-off: large files (100MB+) may be slow or hit browser memory limits. Most tools cap out around 50MB comfortably in Chrome.

What you get without signing up

Free tier includes all 62 tools, unlimited use, no ads in the tool workspace. Signing up adds history, favorites, and custom tool presets — but it's optional.

Three external products worth knowing about

Craftisle also runs three standalone products:

  • pdfcraft.app — 67 PDF-specific tools. Merge, split, compress, OCR, sign. Built on pdf-lib + PDF.js.
  • viewer.craftisle.com — Opens 100+ file formats in-browser. PSD, AI, EPS, DWG, RAW photos — all render without the native app.
  • resume.craftisle.com — ATS-friendly resume builder. Pre-built templates, JSON export, no watermarks.

What's missing

A few things we're working on:

  • Batch processing — Currently one file at a time. Batch resize/convert is in development.
  • Mobile layout — Most tools work on phone browsers but the UI wasn't designed for small screens.
  • Offline mode — Needs a service worker. Planned for Q3 2026.

Try Image Converter or JSON Formatter — they're the two most-used tools on the platform.
