Showing all questions

Getting started

What is ToolForge?

ToolForge is a growing collection of online design creators and everyday utilities. The directory includes tools for Pinterest visuals, personalized photo blankets, freelance graphics, image editing, PDFs, text formatting, development, calculations and SEO.

Are all tools currently available?

Not yet. The homepage has a searchable catalog and several working mini-demos, while other tools are labeled as planned until their dedicated editors have been published. Check a tool card's status before expecting file processing or downloads.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is needed to browse the directory or use the current homepage mini-demos. If a future tool requires sign-in or payment, its individual page should explain that before you use it.

Does ToolForge work on mobile devices?

The homepage and information pages are designed for phones, tablets and desktops. New design editors and file utilities need their own device testing before they are marked ready.

Creative tools

Can I change photo quantity and size on a custom blanket?

The planned Custom Photo Blanket Designer will let you add or remove photos, adjust image placement and size, choose collage layouts and personalize text. Those controls should be available only when the full designer is released; the homepage listing itself is not a print-order editor.

Can I make Pinterest pins with my own images?

The Pinterest tools are intended to support your uploaded images, editable headlines, layouts and export sizes. A common Pinterest starting canvas is 1000 × 1500 pixels (2:3), although you can choose dimensions appropriate to your design when the editor supports them.

What are the Fiverr, Upwork and Freelancer image creators for?

These planned creators focus on service thumbnails, project cover images and freelance portfolio graphics. Presets will help you start at suitable canvas proportions, but always confirm the latest image requirements on the platform where you upload the result.

Image and PDF utilities

What image utilities are in the directory?

The directory lists an image compressor, resizer, cropper, JPG/PNG converters, WebP converter and Image to Base64. The Image to Base64 homepage demo currently processes a supported local image in your browser; other listed utilities require separate implementation.

Which PDF tools are planned?

Planned PDF utilities include merge, split, compress, images to PDF, PDF to images, page rotation and password lock/unlock for documents you are authorized to modify. Some operations may require additional libraries or server-side support.

Are uploaded files automatically stored on the server?

It depends on the tool. For example, the current homepage Image to Base64 demo reads the chosen image in your browser without sending it to a ToolForge file-processing endpoint. Future tools may use different workflows. Review each released tool's privacy information before uploading sensitive files.

Developer tools and SEO

Can I format or validate JSON?

Yes, the homepage includes working JSON Formatter and JSON Validator mini-demos. They accept JSON text, show a formatted result or report a parse error. Always review output before using it in production code.

What SEO tools does ToolForge plan to offer?

Planned SEO helpers include a meta tag generator, robots.txt generator, sitemap generator, Open Graph preview, search snippet preview and website word counter. The homepage currently includes a working Slug Generator mini-demo.

Will using an SEO tool guarantee a higher Google ranking?

No. SEO tools can help you prepare metadata, URLs and technical files, but search rankings depend on many factors including helpful content, crawlability, site quality and competition. No tool can guarantee first-page rankings.

Privacy, feedback and support

How does the Save Tool feature work?

Select the heart icon on a homepage tool card to save it in that browser. The preference uses local browser storage when available, so it may disappear if you clear browser data or switch devices.

How can I report a problem or request a tool?

Visit the Contact Us page and choose the appropriate message topic. Include the tool name, your browser or device and steps to reproduce the problem. Do not send passwords, payment card details or other sensitive data.

Are ToolForge tools free to use?

The current homepage mini-demos can be used without an account or payment. Pricing and usage limits for future full tools have not been finalized and should be displayed clearly on their pages if introduced.
