Why it matters
Built for the way frontend developers work
The small jobs between commits, like resizing a hero image, checking a colour or exporting a PDF, shouldn't cost you money, privacy or focus.
Private by default
Client mockups, NDAs and unreleased screenshots are processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Fast, no waiting
No upload or download round-trips. Conversions use your browser's hardware encoders, WebAssembly and Canvas.
One toolkit, not 15 tabs
Stop hunting for ad-filled converters. Image, video, PDF, design and text utilities live in one consistent app.
Better Core Web Vitals
Compress images, convert to WebP and shrink videos so pages load faster and LCP stays in the green.
Accessible by design
Check WCAG colour contrast before you ship, and track UX signals like rage clicks and scroll depth per page.
A link for every tool
Every tool has its own URL, so you can drop it into docs, tickets, READMEs and blog posts.
How it works
Three steps. Zero setup.
Pick a tool
Open any tool from the dashboard. There's no account to create and nothing to install.
Drop your files
Drag files in or paste from the clipboard. Everything stays on your machine.
Download the result
Get your optimised image, PDF, banner or snippet straight away, with no watermark.
Privacy & trust
100% free, and your files stay yours
Most free converters upload your files to their servers. FrontDev doesn't. Every image, video, document and PDF is processed inside your browser tab, so it's safe for client work, unreleased designs and confidential documents.
- No server-side file processing, ever
- No account, no email, no credit card
- No upload wait, even on a slow connection
- Works on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is FrontDev really 100% free?
Yes. Every tool is completely free with no sign-up, no usage limits, no watermarks and no premium tier. Open the dashboard and start working.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Images, videos, documents and PDFs are processed locally in your browser using Canvas, WebAssembly and WebCodecs. Your files never leave your device, which makes FrontDev safe for client work and confidential assets.
How do I convert Word, Excel or PowerPoint to PDF for free?
Open the PDF Converter, drop in a .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, Markdown, HTML, text or image file and download the PDF. You can convert several files at once and merge them into a single PDF.
Can I convert PNG or JPG images to WebP?
Yes. The Image Converter turns PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP and SVG into WebP, AVIF, PNG or JPG with transparency kept. Use the Image Compressor to shrink files further for faster page loads.
Is there a free Canva or Figma alternative in FrontDev?
Design Studio is a free, browser-based design editor with multiple pages, shapes, text, image upload, crop and filters, layers, alignment and distance guides, and PNG, JPG or SVG export.
How do I check colour contrast for WCAG accessibility?
Use the Contrast Checker to test any text and background colour against WCAG AA and AAA for normal and large text. It shows the exact contrast ratio so you can fix low-contrast colours before you ship.
Do I need to install anything?
No. FrontDev runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. There is nothing to download or install.
