Text cards keep their look from one device to the next

Version 2.0.6

Text & Quote Card 3.2.1 has a steadier editor, cleaner layout controls, and a shared set of open-source fonts that travel well across modern devices.

Your layouts stay separate

Each card style and output size now keeps its own positioning, type sizes, and photo-frame adjustments. Tuning one layout no longer knocks a different one out of place.

Fewer layout surprises

I tightened up the editor and fixed the bugs that could leave text clipped, pushed off the card, or sitting in the wrong spot after switching designs.

Open fonts, consistent cards

The designs now use HandyPebble’s self-hosted open-source fonts from preview through download. That keeps the type more consistent across Windows, macOS, phones, and browsers.

Easier to make it yours

Text layers and photo frames are easier to select, move, and resize, while the finished defaults still open ready to use.

Watermark a photo without hunting through the page

Version 2.0.5

Watermark Tool 2.0.0 has a more comfortable photo-first workspace for adding a name or logo and getting the finished copy out the door.

Everything starts on one screen

Choose or drop in a photo at the top of the editor, keep the preview on the left, and handle text, logo, placement, repeat, opacity, and download settings on the right.

The same tool, less friction

The underlying work is leaner and the layout is easier to follow, while the useful parts stay put: local processing, nine placement options, adjustable size and opacity, repeated marks, and PNG, JPG, or WebP downloads.

A cleaner frame without the extra setup

Version 2.0.4

Border Tool 2.0.3 now opens straight into the workspace, so adding a little breathing room around a photo feels like the quick job it should be.

Start right where the work happens

Drop in a photo from the same screen where you adjust padding, corners, color, border width, and shadow. There is no separate opening step to get through first.

A preview that stays useful

The photo stays on the left while the controls continue down the right side. File, original, and finished dimensions sit under the preview, and the clean defaults begin with a white background, a black edge, and no added effects.

Make the photo feel old without making the editor feel old

Version 2.0.3

Vintage Photo Maker 3.5.0 has a roomier workspace, optional text that behaves like real design layers, and a much easier way to compare the finished look with the original.

A cleaner place to work

I took the heavy frame away from the photo and gave the preview a full checkerboard workspace. Portrait and landscape pictures keep their proportions, and the controls now sit on a plain white panel instead of competing with the image.

Text only when the photo needs it

Add up to seven separate text layers, then drag each one into place. Every layer can have its own wording, font, size, color, alignment, outline, and shadow. Leave the feature alone and nothing gets added to the photo.

A comparison button that acts like one

Press and hold anywhere on the full button to see the untouched photo. The original stays visible if the pointer moves a little, and the vintage version returns when you let go.

One result from preview to download

The high-quality JPG rebuilds the selected film look and text placement from the original file, so the download matches the composition you approved on screen.

Still private and local

The photo, text, and adjustments stay in the browser on your device. HandyPebble does not upload the image, and the finished JPG has no watermark.

Preschool reports get easier, plus 27 new coloring pages

Version 2.0.2

Early Learning now has a faster way to send home daily updates, along with Coloring Pack #002 for preschool, Pre-K, and kindergarten.

Daily reports ready before pickup

The new Preschool Daily Report Maker turns the details of a child’s day into a clear family update without making teachers rebuild the same form over and over.

Move through the class list

Add the children in your class, switch from one report to the next, and keep the classroom name, teacher name, and date in place while each child’s update stays separate.

Include the details families want

Record mood, meals, rest, bathroom updates, activities, supplies, and a note from the teacher. The common choices are ready to click, and you can still add your own wording.

Finish the next report faster

Mark one report complete and move right to the next child, or copy a useful starting point when several children followed the same classroom routine.

Print one report or the whole completed set

Choose U.S. Letter or A4, print the report on screen, or prepare all completed reports together. A longer teacher note moves onto a second page instead of getting cut off or shrunk too small to read.

Four ready-to-use report styles

Pick the look that fits your classroom. Each one is already laid out for families and stays clear on screen, on paper, and in a PNG download.

Twenty-seven new coloring pages

Coloring Adventures for Kids adds friendly animals, vehicles, nature scenes, and everyday favorites. Open the pack, pick any picture from the row at the top, then print it or download a PDF or PNG.

A color example for every picture

Kids can look at the matching color preview for ideas while the printable page stays clean and black and white for crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Saved on this device

Your class list and reports stay in this browser so you can come back to them. No account is required, and HandyPebble does not upload the classroom information you enter.

See what home life costs before the bills pile up

Version 2.0.1

Home & Money is a new section inside Everyday Life for the everyday math behind running a household, splitting bills, estimating electricity costs, and figuring out sale prices.

Add up the real cost of home

The new Household Cost Calculator adds up your rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, transportation, childcare, insurance, subscriptions, and other expenses to show what your household really costs per month, year, week, and day.

Split shared bills two ways

The new Shared Household Expense Splitter splits shared expenses 50/50 or based on each person's share of the household income, then shows how much each person would pay and how much income they would have left afterward.

Put appliance watts into dollars

The new Appliance Electricity Cost Calculator estimates daily, monthly, and yearly energy use and cost from an appliance's wattage, run time, and your electric rate.

Check the whole deal, not just the sale sticker

The Black Friday Deal Calculator factors in the sale discount, coupon, sales tax, shipping, and expected cashback to show what you’ll actually pay. It also works for Cyber Monday, holiday sales, and everyday deals.

Print a clean summary

Each new household calculator creates a clear, focused report based on your current numbers, ready to print or save as a PDF directly from your browser.

No account and no financial data upload

The calculations run locally in the browser. HandyPebble does not ask visitors to create an account or send their household numbers to a server.

Everyday home and family tools now have one practical place

Version 2.0.0

The new HandyPebble Everyday Life 1.0.0 brings 15 useful tools together for home organization, meal planning, family routines, pet care, and home maintenance.

Five everyday collections

Start with the part of life you are managing now: Home & Organization, Meal & Kitchen, Family & Kids, Pet Care, or Home Maintenance.

Useful tools where they make sense

Related HandyPebble tools now appear with the right everyday jobs, including subscription tracking, household budgeting, recipe scaling, cooking conversions, gift planning, U.S. holidays, and lost-pet posters.

Original tools and saved work stay intact

Integrated links open each existing tool at its familiar address, so visitors keep the same workflow and any work already saved on the device.

A shorter homepage to start

The homepage now shows a focused first group of tools, then loads more as visitors scroll or choose Show more tools. Search still checks the full catalog.

Ready-to-use examples

Every Everyday Life tool opens with practical sample content, clear next steps, and the familiar account-free HandyPebble workflow.

Easy to find from the homepage

Everyday Life now has its own homepage shelf beside Education, Real Estate, and Small Business, with direct access to the full collection.

Run the everyday print and design side of a small business in one place

Version 1.9.0

The new HandyPebble Small Business 3.0.0 brings 31 practical browser applications together for signs, menus, customer cards, marketing pieces, brand materials, quotes, estimates, invoices, and work orders.

Thirty-one real business jobs

Create business-hours signs, QR signs, price lists, service and food menus, flyers, posters, coupons, appointment cards, loyalty cards, thank-you pieces, gift certificates, labels, tags, and the documents needed to quote, bill, and organize work.

Five coordinated starter sets

Barbershops, nail salons, massage practices, pet groomers, and food businesses can begin with six coordinated pieces instead of choosing every design one at a time.

Finished designs from the first open

The collection includes 93 purpose-built design structures with realistic sample content. Each one starts composed and usable, so changing business details does not mean rebuilding the page from a blank canvas.

One place for reusable business details

Business names, contact information, brand colors, logos, photos, and other commonly reused details can carry into compatible designs. Nothing is remembered on the device unless the visitor chooses to save it.

More control when a layout needs it

Supported designs let visitors select text, photos, logos, and QR codes, then move or resize the right layer without disturbing the rest of the template. Per-template layout adjustments can be restored when needed.

Print layouts made for the finished piece

Documents use U.S. Letter or A4 where appropriate, while cards, tags, labels, and inserts can be arranged as practical print sheets with trim or bleed guidance. Two-sided pieces keep front and back work separate and understandable.

PDF, PNG, and browser printing

Finished work can be downloaded as a PDF or PNG, or sent to the normal browser print dialog. Print views remove editor controls and preserve the design colors and information needed in the final piece.

Quotes through work orders

Structured business documents share a practical workflow for customer details, line items, money, notes, and totals. A quote or estimate can move into the next stage without retyping the whole job.

Local drafts and reusable projects

Visitors can keep selected projects on the current device, return to continue editing, and reuse work without creating an account or sending design files to a cloud workspace.

Keep recurring charges easy to find

Version 1.8.2

The Subscription Tracker 2.1.0 makes a growing list easier to scan, sort, and act on while keeping the totals and saved data you already use.

Find a charge quickly

Search by subscription name or category instead of scrolling through the whole list.

Focus on what needs attention

Show subscriptions due soon, past their charge date, missing a date, or marked for review or cancellation.

Sort the list your way

Put the next charge, highest monthly cost, or name at the top without changing your saved records or totals.

Cleaner controls

Add examples, print a summary, download a CSV backup, or restore one with the actions grouped where they are easier to find.

What changed in 2.0.1

The earlier update added reliable local saving, backup and restore, clearer monthly and yearly totals, and an easy way to turn a recurring charge into an actionable reminder.

Resize a whole batch and download it once

Version 1.8.1

Image Resizer 1.1.0 now keeps multi-image jobs together, catches outdated results before download, and handles large images more carefully.

One ZIP for the batch

Add JPG, PNG, or WebP images, resize them together, and download the finished set in one ZIP instead of saving every file separately.

Results stay in sync

If you change the size, format, or quality after resizing, the tool clearly asks you to process the images again before downloading.

Safer large-image handling

Requests that would push the browser past a practical working size now stop with a clear explanation instead of risking a frozen tab or an incomplete file.

Settings ready for next time

The tool can remember useful resize settings on this device, with a direct reset when you want to return to the defaults.
