Short answer
A local browser tool performs the transformation with JavaScript already loaded in your browser. Your input does not need to be sent to an application server. QuickTiny uses this model for Smart Actions and its supported JSON, text, encoding, timestamp, password and image tools.
Tools available locally
| Task | QuickTiny tool | Typical input |
|---|---|---|
| Format or repair JSON | JSON Formatter | API responses, config snippets |
| Encode or decode Base64 | Base64 Tool | Text tokens and payloads |
| Encode or decode URLs | URL Tool | Query values and components |
| Convert Unix timestamps | Timestamp Converter | Seconds or milliseconds |
| Clean, sort or deduplicate text | Clean Text | Lists and copied text |
| Compress an image | Image Compressor | JPG, PNG and browser-readable images |
| Generate a password | Password Generator | Locally generated values |
How to verify a “local” claim
- Read the page's privacy explanation and identify which actions require a server.
- Open browser developer tools, select the Network panel, clear it, and perform the transformation.
- Check that the input or file is not present in an outgoing request.
- Separate analytics requests from content-processing requests: analytics may record a page or categorical event without containing your input.
What local processing does not guarantee
Local processing reduces exposure to an application server, but it does not make a compromised device, malicious browser extension or untrusted webpage safe. Avoid pasting production secrets, private keys, passwords or regulated personal data into any website when a dedicated offline workflow is required.
QuickTiny's measurement boundary
QuickTiny may record page views and categorical events such as “tool action clicked” to understand whether tools work. These events do not include pasted text, generated passwords or image contents. The current privacy policy is the authoritative source.
Frequently asked questions
Do local browser tools work without uploading my input?
Yes, when the transformation is implemented in client-side JavaScript. The page code runs on your device and can produce the result without sending the input to an application server.
Can I safely paste secrets into any local tool?
No. Local processing reduces server exposure, but a compromised device, malicious extension or dishonest page can still capture data. Use dedicated offline tooling for production secrets and regulated data.
Does QuickTiny store pasted Smart Actions content?
No. Smart Actions detection happens in the browser, and its measurement events contain categories rather than the pasted value.
Can I verify local processing myself?
Yes. Use the browser Network panel while running the action and inspect outgoing requests for the input or file.
