Design tools: colour, CSS effects, images

Pick colours, build CSS gradients and shadows, convert and crop images - all client-side, no upload, no signup.

A curated hub for design and UI work. Pick brand colours and check WCAG contrast, generate harmonic palettes and design-system tone ramps, build CSS gradients / box-shadows / clip-paths / filters / glassmorphism with live previews and copy-ready declarations, and run an image through the conversion / resizing / compression / cropping / eyedropper tools without ever uploading it. Everything runs in your browser; the files stay on your device.

Free design tools: colour pickers, CSS generators and image utilities

Most design tools are either heavyweight desktop apps or single-purpose websites. This hub gathers the small daily-driver utilities a web designer or product designer reaches for: a colour-converter for hex / RGB / HSL round-trips, a palette generator that emits the five classic harmonies from a base hex, a design-system tone-ramp generator (50-950 like Tailwind), a WCAG contrast checker with AA / AAA badges, an eyedropper that samples colours from any uploaded image, a CSS gradient editor with multi-stop support, a CSS box-shadow stack with Material elevation presets, a CSS clip-path editor with twelve polygon presets, an asymmetric border-radius generator, a cubic-bezier easing editor, a CSS filter playground covering blur / brightness / contrast / saturation / hue-rotate, and a glassmorphism generator that previews over a busy backdrop.

The image side adds five client-side processing tools: a format converter (PNG / JPG / WebP / AVIF), a resizer with aspect-ratio lock, a quality-based compressor with before/after preview, a base64 / Data URI encoder for inline use in HTML and CSS, and a drag-rectangle cropper with common aspect-ratio presets. Each runs entirely via the browser's Canvas API; images never leave the device, which means working sessions stay private and there's no upload time on slow connections.

All tools are free, no signup, with localised copy across English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. Pages load in milliseconds and weigh well under 250 KB of JavaScript - small enough to use on a laptop tethered to a phone or behind a corporate proxy that throttles uploads.
