About Roy's Tools

Roy's Tools is a collection of free utilities that run mostly in your web browser. The focus is practical, everyday tasks: live flight status and military radar, weather, public video downloads, DNS and RDAP lookups, ECB currency conversion, RSVP speed reading, local QR generation, image and favicon packs, AI image detection (C2PA/EXIF and a local watermark scan/strip, plus an optional Sightengine pixel score), emoji search, text statistics, in-page file conversion, PDF merge/split/compress and sign/fill, password generation, a calculator hub, and optional integrations such as a bring-your-own Twilio dialer.

Who it is for

Travelers, students, network admins, creators, and anyone who wants quick tools without installing native apps for one-off jobs. You do not need an account to use the public modules.

Privacy posture

Many modules process files and payloads entirely on your device (for example QR codes, PDFs, passwords, FFmpeg WASM conversion, and image compression). Tools that fetch live data call the APIs required for that feature. Optional Google Analytics may run when configured—see the Privacy page.

The site is built to be straightforward: no paywalls on the core utilities, no dark patterns, and no clutter in the marketing copy.
