About Hard Wired

What is Hard Wired

Hard Wired is a collection of practical, browser-based web tools — converters, encoders, hash generators, image and PDF utilities, and developer helpers. Most tool processing happens entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded to a server unless a tool explicitly requires it.

Mission & Editorial Policy

  • Free to use, no account walls, no paywalls.
  • Privacy-first: prefer in-browser processing; if a server is needed it is explicitly noted on the tool page.
  • Practical and actively maintained — new tools added, existing ones improved based on feedback.
  • Open feedback loop: bug reports and feature requests welcome via GitHub.

Maintainer

Hard Wired is a solo-built project with a focus on keeping things lean, fast, and genuinely useful. The source code is open on GitHub.

History

Launched in late 2025 as a side project to consolidate small browser utilities that kept getting rebuilt from scratch. Hosted on a dedicated server with TLS everywhere.
