Added

  • Colour Converter: type a colour as HEX, RGB, HSL or a CSS name, or pick one, then copy it in every form, find the nearest CSS name and check its WCAG contrast against white and black.
  • The stats page lists searches that found nothing, so the most-wanted missing tools are visible to everyone. Only short words, no numbers or emails, and only after 5 searches on 3 days.
  • Suggest a tool in three short steps, from any page or straight from a search with no results.
  • The support page says what a card gift shows on your statement, and that a monthly gift can be stopped at any time.
  • A terms of use page, linked from the footer: free tools with no warranty or liability, voluntary tips and refunds for mistaken ones, copyright, and the name.
  • Unix Timestamp Converter (Everyday, Time): turn a Unix timestamp in seconds, milliseconds or microseconds into a date in UTC and your time zone, or a date into a timestamp, in the browser.
  • URL Encode and Decode (Developer, Encode): make text safe for a web address, read an encoded one, or split an address into its parts and query parameters, in the browser.

Changed

  • The freethetools package for AI assistants is version 0.1.2, with four new tools: convert_colour, url_encode, url_decode and convert_unix_timestamp.
  • Clearer wording: "Your files stay on your device" instead of "Nothing is uploaded", and share images no longer count the tools, since more keep coming.
  • Time Zone Converter: the chosen day in words, buttons to step by an hour or a day, a Now button, and a 24-hour strip per city with working hours shaded. Press an hour on a strip to pick it.
  • Merge, Split, Rotate and Fill PDF Form show pictures of the pages. Rotate turns them as you choose a direction; Split marks the pages you typed. The finished PDF shows its first page beside Download.
  • Compress, Resize and Convert Images and the File Converter: a Compare button slides between the original and the result. Converted sound files get a player.
  • Unit Converter: the answer is rounded to four digits, with the exact value underneath. The swap button stays on phones.
  • Results that change as you type (times, units, counts, passwords, hashes) flash briefly, so the change is seen.
  • Tool pages: the Favourite button sits beside the tool's name, so the first control is higher on the page.

Fixed

  • Privacy page: names the company and its country, not a city.

Security

  • Browsers now always use HTTPS for freethetools.com: the site sends a Strict-Transport-Security header, valid for one year, so a typed http:// address can't be intercepted before the redirect.
