🎨

Aspect Ratio

1280×800 reduces to 8:5, and a modern phone is 422:195 — a ratio with no name. Get the exact ratio, the nearest standard one, and the error between them.

Design
🎨

Bleed mm to Pixels

Translate physical bleed and trim size into pixel dimensions at a chosen PPI.

Design
🎨

Booklet Creep

Estimate the cumulative outward shift in a saddle-stitched stack from measured sheet caliper.

Design
🎨

Border Radius

The slash syntax gives each corner a separate horizontal and vertical radius, which is how organic shapes are made in CSS without touching SVG.

Design
🎨

Border Style Generator

Build both declarations, calculate outer footprint and keep keyboard focus visible.

Design
🎨

Box Shadow Generator

Real objects cast a tight contact shadow and a soft ambient one. Stack two box-shadow values and the result stops looking like CSS.

Design
🎨

Chart Palette Generator

Distribute hues, preview labeled swatches and expose the closest RGB pair.

Design
🎨

Color Swatch Sheet

Validate CSS hex colors and create a deterministic proof-sheet manifest.

Design
🎨

Colour Blind Check

Red-for-bad and green-for-good is the most common convention in software and the exact pair that collapses. Paste your palette and see which colours merge.

Design
🎨

Colour Palette Generator

Press space for a new palette, lock the ones you like, keep going. Spaced by lightness rather than randomly, so the result is actually usable in an interface.

Design
🎨

Colour Palette Harmony

HSL says the complement of blue is a much brighter yellow. Your eye disagrees. This rotates in OKLCH and shows both, so you can see the difference.

Design
💻

CSS Gradient Generator

Linear, radial and conic gradients with as many stops as you like — plus the fix for the muddy grey band that appears between complementary colours.

Developer
🎨

Dark Mode Palette

Transform light tokens into editable dark candidates and report WCAG contrast for text pairs.

Design
🎨

Greyscale Weights

All three average to exactly 85. Weighted by luminance they are 54, 182 and 18 — which is roughly how the eye sees them.

Design
🎨

Hex Opacity Calculator

Convert between hex alpha and percentage, and see the flat colour a semi-transparent layer actually produces over your background.

Design
🎨

Hex Shorthand

Shorthand doubles each digit, so #f61 is #ff6611 — not #ff6601. Shortening by truncation changes the colour.

Design
🎨

HEX to RGB

Paste any hex — 3, 4, 6 or 8 digits — and get RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSV and OKLCH at once, plus a tint and shade scale you can drop straight into a design system.

Design
🎨

HSL / HSV Converter

HSV at 100% saturation and 100% value is a vivid colour. HSL at 100% and 100% is white. Design tools show HSV, CSS wants HSL, and nothing warns you.

Image Colour Extractor

Averaging the pixels of a red flower on green leaves gives brown. This groups pixels into real clusters, in linear light, so every colour you get is one you can see.

🎨

Ink Coverage Cost

Scale a cartridge's rated-page yield to the coverage of the planned job.

Design
🎨

Label Sheet Yield

Fit labels inside explicit margins and gaps, then compare portrait and rotated layouts.

Design
💻

Lorem Ipsum Generator

Classic lorem ipsum, plus placeholder data that behaves like the real thing — long names, awkward emails and prices that actually break your layout.

Developer
🎨

Named Colour Finder

148 names with a century of accumulated history. Finding the closest one needs a perceptual distance, because RGB distance picks a different answer.

Design
🖼️

Placeholder Image

Every placeholder service sees the URL of every page that uses it. This makes the file in your browser instead, so nothing is requested and nothing breaks.

Image
🖼️

PNG to JPG

Every transparent pixel has to become something. Choose the colour instead of letting the canvas default decide.

Image
🎨

px to rem

em multiplies with each nested level, so four levels of 0.9em is 10.5px, not 14.4. Convert between all three and see the compounding.

Design
🎨

RGB to CMYK

A vivid screen green has no CMYK equivalent. Converters return the nearest printable colour and say nothing. This shows you the gap before it surprises you.

Design
🖼️

SVG to PNG

An SVG has no resolution until you pick one. Export at 1x and it is soft on every modern screen. Set a scale or an exact width and see the result before saving.

Image
🎨

Tiled Poster Pages

Tile a finished poster across printable sheets with an explicit overlap allowance.

Design

YouTube Thumbnail

Paste a link and see all six thumbnail sizes YouTube stores, at their real dimensions, with a direct download for each — plus the frame grabs most tools never show you.
