UtilsNow — Browser Utilities

Right-click text, images, or links to open them in 235+ browser-based developer and writing tools. No account needed.

UtilsNow adds 235 privacy-first utility tools to your browser's right-click menu. Whether you work with code, documents, or images every day, the extension brings the right tool to wherever your cursor already is — no tab-switching, no sign-up, no waiting. Right-click any selected text to open it in a developer or writing tool. Highlight an API response and format it as readable JSON with one click. Select a paragraph and run a grammar check, rewrite it in a different tone, or count its words without leaving the page you are on. Send a string directly to the Base64 encoder, a hash generator, or a URL encoder. Load a snippet into the regex tester to debug a pattern against live text, or open two blocks of text in the diff tool to see exactly what changed between them. Image tools work differently — and more privately. Right-click any image on a webpage and the extension opens it in an image tool running entirely in your browser. A background removal tool powered by an on-device AI model, an image compressor that converts to WebP or JPEG, a format converter, and a pixel-accurate resizer are all available from a single right-click. Because image processing uses client-side JavaScript, the original file is never transmitted to any server. Link tools handle the repetitive steps in campaign and web work. Right-click a hyperlink to open a UTM parameter builder with a live preview URL, generate a scannable QR code, or percent-encode the link for safe use in a query string. The toolbar popup provides quick access to eight commonly used tools and a Tool of the Day that rotates through twenty tools on a daily calendar schedule, stored locally in the extension. Open the full catalogue from the popup footer to browse all 235 tools across eighteen categories, from PDF and image processing to developer, financial, and encoding utilities. Privacy by design: the extension requests only two permissions. The contextMenus permission adds the right-click entries. The storage permission saves the Tool of the Day rotation locally. The extension does not read page content, inject scripts, or access browsing history. When a context menu item is invoked, the selected text or URL is sent to utilsnow.com as a URL query parameter so the tool opens pre-loaded — equivalent to opening the tool and pasting the content yourself. All image and file processing runs in the browser. No server-side accounts or stored data exist. No account is required to use any tool on utilsnow.com. There is no sign-up form, no email verification, and no personal data retained between sessions.
