About Utilo
Free online tools that respect your privacy — no accounts, no uploads, no tracking games.
Why Utilo exists
Everyday tasks shouldn't require an account, an app install, or a subscription. Compressing a photo, generating a QR code, counting words, creating a strong password, or estimating a mortgage payment are simple jobs — and the tools for them should be simple too. Utilo is a small collection of free online tools that do one thing well and get out of your way.
Private by design
Most free tools on the internet pay their bills with your data. Utilo takes a different approach: everything runs in your browser. Your images are compressed on your device, your QR codes are generated locally, and your passwords never leave your machine — because they never travel anywhere at all. We don't ask you to sign up, so there's no account to breach and no profile to sell.
What we offer
- Image Compressor — shrink JPG, PNG, and WebP files with adjustable quality and resizing.
- QR Code Generator — codes for URLs, text, Wi-Fi, email, and phone numbers with live preview.
- Word Counter — live word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts with reading time.
- Password Generator — cryptographically random passwords with an entropy meter.
- Mortgage Calculator — US-focused payment estimates with taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI.
Every tool is free, works on desktop and mobile, and requires no signup. We also publish practical guides on the Utilo blog — real how-tos, not filler.
How the site stays free
Utilo is supported by advertising and, on some pages, clearly-labeled affiliate links. Ads keep the tools free for everyone; we aim to keep them unobtrusive and never let them interfere with the tools themselves. If an affiliate link ever appears, it will be disclosed right next to it — no fine print.
