A familiar calculator joins the shelf
Version 1.1.4The new Classic Calculator handles everyday arithmetic and percentages without hiding the useful buttons behind a mode switch.
Familiar layout
The number pad, four basic operations, percentage, sign, decimal, clear, and delete controls sit exactly where you expect them.
Keyboard ready
Number keys, operators, Enter, Backspace, and Escape work alongside the large touch-friendly buttons.
Percentage behavior
Use % on its own to divide by 100, or use it with addition and subtraction to calculate a portion of the first number.
No saved tape
The calculation stays in the open page and disappears when the page is refreshed or closed.

The saved tab finally has a face
Version 1.1.3HandyPebble now has a proper little yellow pebble in browser tabs, bookmarks, phone shortcuts, and installed web apps.
Easy to spot
The simple black H stays readable even when the icon is squeezed down to 16 pixels.
Browser ready
Modern SVG and PNG icons sit alongside a multi-size ICO fallback for older browsers and saved bookmarks.
Phone friendly
An Apple touch icon and web app sizes keep home-screen shortcuts from falling back to a random page screenshot.
Everywhere
All public pages now point to the same icon set, so the toolbox keeps one recognizable face from page to page.

Two controls remember what they’re doing
Version 1.1.1The Watermark Maker can tilt repeated marks, and Border & Padding now remembers the frame you built.
Diagonal repeats
Turn on “Repeat across the image,” then slide from −60° through 0° to +60°. The angle stays disabled when repeat is off, so a single watermark still behaves exactly as expected.
Frame memory
Padding, corners, colors, border width, shadow, file format, and quality stay on this device for the next image.
A real reset
“Start over” only removes the current image. “Reset saved settings” asks for confirmation before returning every remembered frame setting to its defaults.
Still private
Both improvements run inside the browser. Images and saved preferences never leave the browser.

The subject can finally scoot over
Version 1.0.6The Rounded Corners preview now lets you zoom in and drag the image until the important part sits exactly where it should.
Added
A 100–250% zoom slider, mouse and finger dragging, double-click recentering, and arrow-key nudging.
Kept sensible
Zoom and position belong to one image, so they reset when you choose another instead of following you around like an uninvited plus-one.
Download behavior
The saved file keeps the original pixel dimensions. Zooming simply crops the outer edges you moved beyond the frame.
Still private
Framing, previewing, and downloading all happen locally in the browser. The image never leaves your device.

Sharp corners get an easier exit
Version 1.0.5The Rounded Corners tool adds a clean finish to photos and graphics without turning a two-minute job into a design-software tutorial.
Added
Four useful radius presets, a live slider, smooth and classic curves, and a press-and-hold original comparison.
Kept simple
It handles one image at a time: choose it, shape it, and download. Export settings stay tucked away until you need them.
Privacy
Images are processed locally in the browser. HandyPebble never receives, stores, or reads the file.
Why one image?
Corner shaping is visual. Focusing on one preview makes the decision faster and keeps the interface easy to understand.

The file-format headache gets a shortcut
Version 1.0.4The Image Converter turns iPhone photos, web downloads, and assorted “unsupported file” surprises into JPG, PNG, or WebP—without a cloud upload.
Added
Local conversion for JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, and GIF inputs, with batches of up to 25 images.
Why it helps
You can move an iPhone photo to a PC, open a WebP in an editor, or prep transparent artwork without starting a whole research project.
Privacy
This is hand-coded browser software, not an AI service. Files stay on your device, and HandyPebble never receives them.
Also useful
One-click ZIP downloads, honest quality notes, and a choice of JPG backgrounds for transparent images.

Words get their own studio
Version 1.0.3The Text Card Maker turns quotes, thoughts, and tiny manifestos into sharp PNGs—without making you wrestle a full design app.
Added
Nine original themes, ten type moods, four social-media sizes, alignment controls, long-text fitting, and watermark-free PNG downloads.
Why it helps
You can make a quote card, announcement, or shareable thought in a minute, even on a phone.
Privacy
Your text and finished image stay in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded, saved, or read by HandyPebble.
A little personality
The tool borrows its energy from print shops, subway signs, corner stores, and people who still care about good type.

Image Resizer joins the toolbox
Version 1.0.2The second pebble is here. It resizes one image or a whole batch without sending anything to a server.
Added
Percentage, maximum-width, and exact-pixel resizing for JPG, PNG, and WebP.
Why it helps
You can fix oversized uploads, prep blog images, or hit an exact dimension without opening an editor.
Privacy
The resizer runs entirely in your browser. I can’t see or keep your images.
Also improved
The homepage is now a proper tool directory, and shared image code has a clean home for future tools.

The first pebble
Version 1.0.1HandyPebble went from a coming-soon page to a working website with its first real tool.
Added
A private Image Compressor for JPG, PNG, and WebP, with batch support and clear size savings.
Why it helps
Smaller images load faster, fit upload limits, and take up less space.
Built for trust
No account, no file upload, no storage. The useful stuff is right where you need it.
Under the hood
Search metadata, a sitemap, mobile layouts, and a folder structure that won’t turn into a junk drawer.
