General
Is ForgeSuite really free?
Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no subscriptions, no paywalls and no credit card required.
Do I need to create an account?
No. None of the tools require sign-up or login — open a tool and start using it straight away.
Can I install ForgeSuite as an app?
Yes. ForgeSuite is a Progressive Web App. Open the site in Chrome, Edge or Safari and look for an “Install” or “Add to Home Screen” option, usually in the address bar or browser menu. Once installed, pages you’ve already visited keep working even without an internet connection — see the Wiki for the full walkthrough.
Which browsers does ForgeSuite work in?
Any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are all supported. A few tools use browser features like the Canvas API or the clipboard, so keeping your browser up to date gives the best results.
Privacy & data
Does ForgeSuite store what I type or upload?
No. Tools like JSONForge, MarkdownForge and CropForge process your files and inputs in your browser, and they are not uploaded to us. CropForge, for example, crops images on your device using the Canvas API.
How do the website scanner tools handle the sites I scan?
AccessibilityForge, SEOForge, SecurityForge and PerformanceForge fetch a live URL directly from your browser and check it on the spot — nothing you scan is saved afterwards. Some sites block this kind of cross-origin request; if that happens, paste the page’s HTML instead and the same checks run against what you pasted.
What happens to the details I submit on the Contact page?
Only what you type is sent as an email to the ForgeSuite team — it isn’t stored on the site or shared with anyone else.
What cookies does ForgeSuite use?
Essential cookies that keep the site working, plus optional analytics cookies you can accept or decline. Change your choice at any time from “Cookie settings” in the footer.
Using the tools
How do I switch between tools?
Use “Tools” in the top navigation from any page, or the “Switch tool…” menu at the top of any tool page.
I found a bug, or have an idea for a new tool — who do I tell?
Use the Contact page — no account needed, and the team reads every message.
Where can I find step-by-step instructions for each tool?
The Wiki has a how-to guide for every tool in ForgeSuite.
