This awesome online toolbox unleashes your browser’s power

I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve needed some random-seeming, single-purpose tool for tweaking text or pulling off a super-simple adjustment on an image.

Maybe I want to quickly convert some Awkwardly Capitalized Words into sentence case. Maybe it’s resizing or selectively blurring a part of a photo I’m about to share. Or maybe it’s figuring out the numerical color code from an image.

Whatever the specifics may be, I usually end up searching the web to find a fast ‘n’ easy tool for getting the job done. I usually end up wasting tons of time tracking down some app or site that can do the deed. And it usually isn’t especially easy or pleasant to use, either.

So what if we all had our own all-purpose online toolbox—a basic toolkit for handling simple tasks around manipulating text, images, and the likes, without any frills or fuss?

My fellow tech explorer, have I got just the thing for you.

Psst: If you love these types of tools as much as I do, check out my free Cool Tools newsletter from The Intelligence. You’ll be the first to find all sorts of simple tech treasures!

Your all-purpose online toolbox

Our efficiency-enhancing find for this week truly is the Swiss Army Knife of online text and image manipulators.

It’s a simple website with a sprawling set of fuss-free tools for accomplishing almost anything imaginable when it comes to quick ‘n’ easy text and image tweaks.

➜ The site is called ​10015​. It’s completely free to use, and it’ll work on any device in front of you—phone, tablet, computer, you name it.

⌚ You’ll need less than a minute to complete most actions within it:


10015’s case converter couldn’t be much easier to use…

And the site’s selective photo blurrer can really come in handy.

Just bookmark the site or add a shortcut onto your desktop or home screen—or save the direct links to specific tools you find yourself using often, if you’d rather.

Doesn’t get much easier than that. And that, m’dear, is precisely the point.

  • 10015 works ​entirely in your browser​—no downloads, no installations, no nuisances whatsoever. (It does have optional extensions for Chrome and Firefox, but they’re basically just glorified bookmarks to the web tools.)
  • It’s 100% free to use and supported by occasional ads, and its developer says it’ll stay that way forever. (You can also click on an optional buy-me-a-coffee donation link, if you’re ever so inclined, but it absolutely isn’t required.)
  • The site doesn’t require any sort of sign-ins or personal info to be submitted, and its privacy policy​ doesn’t have anything eyebrow-raising.
