About bytelyx

bytelyx is an independent website of free, practical tools for everyday technology work: sizing a power supply, planning a subnet, checking a file hash, decoding a token, converting a timestamp or cleaning up a block of text. It is independently run, not part of a large software company, and every tool is free to use without an account.

What you will find here

The site currently offers 56 tools in 5 categories: Calculators & Hardware, Networking & Planning, Developer, Web & SEO, Files, Images & Text and Security & AI Utilities. Each tool page explains what the tool is for, how to use it, how the result is calculated, a worked example, its known limitations and answers to common questions, so you can judge whether a result fits your situation.

How the tools work

54 of the 56 tools run entirely in your web browser. Text you paste, files you open and numbers you enter are processed on your own device and are not uploaded by those tools. The currency converter and the US weather forecast are the exceptions: when you ask for a result they fetch public reference data (exchange rates from the European Central Bank via the Frankfurter service, and forecasts from the US National Weather Service).

The calculations are written as small, separate functions with automated tests that check them against known answers, for example standard subnet sizes, RAID capacities and loan amortization results. Formulas and assumptions are stated on each page. Estimates such as power draw or download time depend on your inputs and real-world conditions, and the pages say so where it matters.

Community

The community is a place to ask questions about results, share fixes and request new tools. Posts are public. Members can report posts, and moderators review reports and hide content that breaks the terms. Spam, harassment and unsafe content are not allowed.

How bytelyx is funded

The tools are free because the site may show advertising from Google AdSense. Ads are clearly labelled, are kept away from the tools themselves, and you can change your advertising and analytics choices at any time from Cookie preferences in the footer. Details are in the privacy policy.

Contact and corrections

If a result looks wrong, a tool is missing something you need, or you have a privacy question, email mohamadmashal86@gmail.com or use the contact page. Reported calculation errors are checked against the source formula and fixed.
