# Karvics > A privacy-first suite of developer utilities and data transformation tools. Most tools process data entirely client-side in the browser; a small, disclosed subset sends only the target URL to a server because the task requires it. ## About Karvics is an all-in-one suite of 51 free online utilities designed for developers, designers, and professionals. 47 of 51 tools run 100% client-side in your browser — no data is ever uploaded to our servers. 2 free URL tools (Link Preview Scraper, Redirect Checker) send only the target URL to Karvics servers to work. Works offline once loaded. No signup required. **Technical Stack:** Built with Next.js 16+, React 19, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS + PostCSS for instant performance. **Domain:** karvics.com | **Author:** Akshay Gupta | **Founded:** 2024 ## Core Value Proposition - **Zero-Knowledge Privacy:** 47 of 51 tools run entirely in the user's browser using native Web APIs (Web Crypto API, Canvas API, pdf-lib) — no data is ever uploaded to a server for these. - **Developer-Centric:** Clean, fast, and secure alternatives to common web utilities. - **Unlimited Processing:** Process unlimited files (PDFs, images). No restrictions on number of uses or file count. - **Offline-First PWA:** Functions as a Progressive Web App. Works completely offline once loaded via Service Workers. - **LLM Optimization:** Home of the TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) format. Measured 20-33% token reduction on uniform arrays of same-shaped objects (API lists, database rows, log batches) — see https://karvics.com/toon-benchmark. - **Data Minimization:** For client-side tools, no file or text data is transmitted to Karvics servers — processing happens entirely in the browser, so no PHI or personal data leaves the user's device. Karvics is not a covered entity or business associate and does not enter into BAAs. ## Key Features - 47 Client-side Tools: Complete privacy — all processing happens in your browser, verifiable in DevTools - 2 Server-assisted Tools: Only the target URL is sent to Karvics servers (Link Preview Scraper, Redirect Checker) — disclosed on each tool page - No Registration Required: Instant access to all 49 free tools - Offline-capable: Client-side tools work without internet once the page is loaded - Free Forever: All basic tools are completely free with no hidden costs - 2 Premium SEO tools available for server-side auditing (require login) ## Featured Tools ### AI & Data Optimization - [TOON Converter](https://karvics.com/tool/json-to-toon): Convert JSON to TOON to reduce token usage for RAG applications — 20-33% measured on uniform arrays of same-shaped objects (API lists, database rows, log batches) (https://karvics.com/toon-benchmark). - [Token Cost Estimator](https://karvics.com/tool/token-counter): Calculate exact costs for GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini APIs. - [TOON Validator](https://karvics.com/tool/toon-validator): Clean and validate TOON structures for machine readability. - [TOON to JSON](https://karvics.com/tool/toon-to-json): Reconstruct JSON from TOON format with automatic formatting. ### Security & Cryptography - [AES Encryptor](https://karvics.com/tool/encrypt-decrypt-text): Bank-grade encryption using AES-GCM and PBKDF2.
