October 2026

10 October 2026: guides, longer tool articles, and fixes

• Fifteen new guides for common jobs, including getting a PDF under 1 MB or 200 KB for an upload portal, phone photos to a PDF for an online form, page numbers for a thesis, a fresher resume, Wi-Fi QR codes, BMI, and Base64. The full list is on the guides page, now grouped by topic.
• Every tool page now has a longer article underneath it: what each control does, tips, limits, and more questions answered.
• Text Diff: the Ignore Case and Ignore Whitespace options now change the comparison, and the page keeps your original text on screen.
• Dev Tools: new Format JSON and Minify JSON buttons that report where invalid JSON breaks. The regex tester no longer freezes on patterns that can match an empty string.
• Health Calculator: a BMI card with the WHO adult bands and a note on the lower cut-offs used in India. An empty height or weight now shows a prompt instead of a made-up number.
• Image Optimizer: transparent images saved as JPEG get a white background instead of black.
• Markdown Editor: the preview now shows links, numbered lists, tables, and paragraphs correctly, and leaves formatting characters inside code blocks alone.
• FX worksheet: the fee cards are labelled as examples with realistic transfer times, and no longer read like provider recommendations.
• New pages: this changelog and How we test. The About page now explains how the site started and how it is maintained.

8 October 2026: honest copy and crawlable pages

• Each tool URL now serves its own title, description, and heading before JavaScript runs, and unknown addresses return a real 404 page.
• The privacy and cookie policies gained Google's required advertising disclosures and opt-out links, and claims about services the site does not use were removed.
• The in-app policy pages now show the same text as the static pages, so the two copies can no longer drift apart.
• The footer gained a PDF tools column linking every PDF tool.
• Social Studio's Bold, Italic, Double-Struck, and Monospace styles were fixed; some printed broken characters before.
• The Social Studio and Health Calculator articles were rewritten to describe what the pages actually do.

1 and 2 October 2026: full guides and structured data

• Short guide stubs were replaced with full articles, and every guide got its own static page that works without JavaScript.
• Each tool page received its own title and canonical address, and the site added Organization, WebSite, breadcrumb, and tool structured data.

3 to 5 September 2026: guides, Resume Builder, and speed
