Free data tools, no upload required

Every tool below runs entirely in your browser — your file never touches a server. When viewing isn't enough, one click sends the data to the analysis workspace.

These are single-purpose utilities for the unglamorous half of data work — opening, splitting, merging, and sanity-checking files before any analysis happens. All seven run entirely in your browser: no upload, no account, no file size games. Your data never leaves your machine on these pages.

Which tool do you need?

Each tool page explains the underlying task properly — including how to do it in Excel, Sheets, or the command line if you'd rather not use a browser tool at all. The goal is that the page solves your problem even if you never click anything.

Why these run in the browser on purpose

File utilities are exactly the category where uploading is unnecessary risk. Parsing a CSV, splitting it, or counting words requires no server — modern browsers handle files in the hundreds of megabytes locally. So these tools make no network request with your data: what you drop on the page is processed by JavaScript on your own machine, which is why they work on locked-down work laptops and with files you're not allowed to send anywhere.

The workspace is the deliberate exception: real AI analysis needs compute, so there your data is processed in memory by the engine — still never stored, with only reports you explicitly generate being saved. The boundary is explicit: utilities stay local, analysis runs in memory, and nothing persists without your say-so. Details in the privacy policy.

When a utility stops being enough

A viewer answers "what's in this file?"; it can't answer "what changed and why?". The practical escalation point is when you catch yourself doing analysis inside a utility — filtering, eyeballing trends, copying numbers into a doc. That's the moment to move the same file into the workspace, where the engine writes and runs real Python against it and turns the answers into a report with every computation attached. The guides on analyzing CSV data with AI and analyzing Excel data with AI show that workflow end to end.

Need analysis, not just utilities?

The workspace runs verified AI analysis on your files and turns results into shareable reports.
