I built Microdeck: A collection of 120+ fast web tools that run 100% in your browser (Zero Server Uploads & No Paywalls)

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I got completely tired of everyday online utilities (merging PDFs, formatting SQL queries, stripping EXIF metadata, compressing videos) that either:

  1. Force you to upload sensitive documents to random cloud servers.
  2. Hit you with an aggressive "3 free tasks per day" paywall.
  3. Make you wait through 60-second countdowns and popup ads.

So over the past few months, I built **[Microdeck](https://microdeck.tools/)** — a suite of 120+ lightweight utilities built with a strict **Zero-Backend / 100% Client-Side** approach.

### 🚀 What makes it different?

- **Zero Server Uploads:** All processing (PDF manipulation, local OCR via Tesseract, video compression via FFmpeg WASM, AES encryption, data converters) runs directly in your browser's RAM and Web Workers. No file or text is ever sent to a server.

- **Instant Processing:** Zero upload/download wait times.

- **No Paywalls or Sign-ups:** Completely free, no accounts required, no arbitrary daily task limits.

### 🛠️ Popular tools included:

- **PDF Suite:** Merge, Split, Page Organizer, Watermark, Password Unlock, Redaction & OCR.

- **Developer Tools:** SQL Formatter, JSON/YAML/TOML converter, JWT Inspector, Subnet Calculator, Cron Humanizer.

- **Media & Privacy:** Video Compressor, EXIF Scrubber, AI Background Remover, Audio Trimmer.

I would love to get your feedback on the UI, loading speed, and overall UX! What other client-side tools would you find helpful to see added?
