Converters

Convert anything — PDFs, images, units, currencies

The hub for every SnapToolz converter, sorted so you can find the right one fast. They fall into three families — file formats (PDF, image, Office), data notations (colour codes, timestamps, text encodings), and everyday values (units and currencies). Tell the table what you're translating and it hands you the tool.

  • No uploads — files stay on your device
  • WebAssembly fast
  • Works offline
  • 100% free, no sign-up

Start here: which converter for which job

Converters fall into three families — files, data, and everyday values. Pick by what you're translating, then follow the link straight to the tool:

ConvertUseNote
A colour between HEX/RGB/HSLColor ConverterSame colour, different notation
Units (length, weight, temperature)Unit ConverterTemperature is affine, not a simple scale
A Unix timestamp to/from a dateTimestamp ConverterSeconds vs milliseconds bites
Text between UTF-8/UTF-16/Latin-1Text EncodingFixes mojibake with the right source encoding
A PDF to/from images or WordSee the PDF toolsPDF-to-JPG and PDF-to-Word live under PDF

Who this hub is for, and where to begin

Developers translating a colour code into the notation their stylesheet wants, backend engineers making sense of a Unix timestamp in a log, travellers ballparking a price in their home currency, and anyone who pasted text from one system into another and got garbled characters — they all start here. These are the quick, high-frequency lookups you'd otherwise open a dozen browser tabs for.

Not sure which you need? Reach for the Color Converter for HEX/RGB/HSL, the Timestamp Converter for epoch-to-date, the Unit Converter for length, weight or temperature, and the Text Encoding converter when characters come out wrong. Each loads instantly and works the same offline as online — worth pinning as a PWA if you use one daily.

Frequently asked questions

  • How current are the currency rates?

    Rates are static — we ship a periodically-refreshed snapshot of mid-market rates so the tool stays fully offline. They're accurate to within a percent or two for casual conversions, not real-time trading.

  • Why no live exchange rate API?

    Live rate APIs require server-side calls (CORS blocks direct browser fetches for most providers), an API key, and a paid tier above the free quota. SnapToolz ships a refreshed mid-market snapshot instead — accurate enough for ballpark conversions and crucially working entirely offline. For real-time trading rates use a dedicated financial source.

  • Are my files uploaded anywhere?

    No. Every SnapToolz tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Files are read locally, processed in memory, and the result is offered as a download. There is no backend.

  • How does this compare to convertio / cloudconvert?

    Server-based converters upload your file, process on their hardware, and stream the result back. That's necessary for heavyweight conversions (video transcoding) but overkill for PDF↔image, color, unit, or text-encoding conversions — all of which SnapToolz handles fully client-side. Browser-only is faster on small/medium inputs, works offline, and never puts data through a third-party pipeline.

  • Can I bookmark a specific conversion?

    Yes — every converter loads instantly with sensible defaults. For repeated lookups, install SnapToolz as a PWA and pin the converter to your home screen.

  • Is everything free?

    Yes — every tool in this category and on the entire site is free with no sign-up, no daily limit, and no watermark.
