Open Source Web Tools

Web tools are applications accessed through a browser to perform focused tasks without requiring a traditional desktop installation. They can simplify work such as converting files, processing images, inspecting structured data, or creating visualizations. Depending on how they are built, they may run entirely in the browser or rely on a server for processing, storage, or collaboration.

Open source options range from lightweight utilities for one-off tasks to larger applications with configurable workflows. When choosing one, consider its license, maintenance activity, supported formats, privacy model, and whether it needs a server or specific browser features. These tools can be useful to developers, designers, researchers, and anyone who wants accessible utilities that can be inspected, adapted, or self-hosted.
