A small site, made by one person, that just tries to be useful.
ToolPop is a collection of 93+ free, browser-based tools and a growing tutorial library. No accounts, no uploads, no premium tier. Built and maintained by Shailesh Kumar Singh from Bengaluru, India.
Who is behind this
I am Shailesh Kumar Singh, a software engineer based in India, working primarily with Go on the backend and React on the frontend. I have been writing code professionally for about a decade, mostly in product engineering and tech-lead roles across mid-sized SaaS companies.
ToolPop started as a weekend project for myself. I kept hitting the same wall on other tool sites, sign-up walls, file uploads to unknown servers, paywalls after two uses, ads stacked on top of each other. I wanted a place where the small everyday tasks just worked, in the browser, with nothing in the way. Once I had built three or four tools for my own use, it seemed silly not to share them.
What ToolPop is
At the time of writing, ToolPop hosts 93 tools across eleven categories , image compression and conversion, PDF utilities, calculators, developer tools, creator tools for YouTube and Instagram, and a handful of SEO helpers. Every tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs. Files never leave your device. There is no server-side upload, no analytics on tool inputs, no storage of what you compress or convert.
The tutorials section, added more recently, is the part I am most excited about. The plan is to slowly build out long-form, story-driven lessons on the topics I actually use day-to-day, SQL, JavaScript, React, eventually Go and system design. All of them free, all of them written with Indian readers in mind, and all of them focused on giving you a working mental model rather than just syntax to memorise.
How this is funded
ToolPop is supported entirely by Google AdSense. There is one ad on most pages, placed below the actual tool or article so that it does not get in your way. There is no premium tier, no upsell, and no plan to introduce one. The income covers the domain, the build pipeline, and a small amount of pocket money for the maintainer (me). That is the whole business model.
If you ever feel the ads are too aggressive, please write to me at the email below and tell me which page. I would rather know.
