CanDoYa - Tool Search

Search every free CanDoYa tool from a side panel in any tab. Favorites and recents stay in sync with candoya.com.

Every free CanDoYa tool, one keystroke away, in a Chrome side panel that opens over whatever page you are already on. Press Command+Shift+K (Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows and Linux), type what you need, press Enter. The tool opens beside your tab instead of replacing it, so you keep your place. WHY A SIDE PANEL Because the alternative is a new tab, a hunt through bookmarks, and losing the thing you were reading. The panel sits next to your work. Compress an image, count the words in a draft, format a blob of JSON, check a color contrast ratio, then close it and carry on. THREE WAYS TO OPEN IT Keyboard. Command+Shift+K on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows and Linux. Rebind it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts if it clashes with something you already use. Toolbar. Click the CanDoYa icon. Address bar. Type cd, press Tab, then start typing a tool name to jump straight to it. SEARCH THAT FINDS THE RIGHT THING Results rank as you type and match on tool names, file formats and the task you are describing, so "shrink jpeg" and "compress image" both land in the same place. Arrow keys move through the results and Enter opens the highlighted one, without your hands leaving the keyboard. Category filters sit under the search field and never take focus away from it. The panel ships with a bundled index, so search works from the first moment you install it, before it has fetched anything. FAVORITES AND RECENTS, IN SYNC BOTH WAYS Star a tool on candoya.com and it is waiting for you in the panel. Star one in the panel and the site knows about it. Recently opened tools stay in step the same way, so the tools you actually use rise to the top wherever you are. Anything you had favorited before installing the extension is merged in on the first sync rather than overwritten. EVERYTHING RUNS IN YOUR BROWSER CanDoYa tools are client-side. A PDF you split, an image you compress, a file you convert: all of it is processed on your own machine, and the file never leaves your device. There is no account, no sign-up, no paywall and no ads. The panel itself sends nothing about you. Its only network request is refreshing the list of available tools from candoya.com, revalidated with an ETag every few hours. WHAT IS IN THE TOOLBOX The tools are grouped into these categories, and new ones are added all the time. Text & Writing. Count words, format, clean up and transform text. Images. Compress, convert, resize and crop - no upload. PDF. Merge, split, convert and compress PDF files. Developer. Format, encode, validate and generate code. Converters.

The full, current list lives at candoya.com, and the panel's search covers all of it. Free to use, nothing to sign up for. candoya.com
