Want to edit a photo online, blur, pixelate (mosaic) or add text to it, run a speaker (sound) test or work out an annualised return? They live in Pixel Smith Image Tools, Device Tester and the Office Life Calculator (formerly Calc Lab).
How each tool works, and what happens to the data you put in, is written on its guide page or at the bottom of the tool itself.
Other projects: Spinning Top Arena, Speak Cards English Practice and Taiwan Life Calculator. They run as separate small sites, so these links go to their guide pages.
