How we keep free tools useful and honest
Simple Free Tools is for the jobs that should not require an account, a payment screen, or a watermark: calculate something, clean a file, check JSON, work with a PDF, convert a format, and get on with your day. The site is available in English, German, and Spanish.
Source basis
Each tool starts with the source that fits the job. A benefits or legal calculator needs official rules. A JSON formatter needs predictable parsing. A PDF or file tool needs standard format behavior and clear limits.
- Rule-based calculators cite the formula, rule, or public source behind the result.
- File, PDF, JSON, and converter tools explain important limits when the input can affect the output.
- If a result is an estimate, we say so before users rely on it.
Review process
Before a tool goes live, we test it with real examples, edge cases, and the source material behind it. After launch, we revisit tools when rules change, standards move, or someone reports a problem.
- Pages show a last-verified date when the underlying rule or source can change.
- Examples and tests help catch formula, parsing, formatting, and conversion mistakes.
- Source links and format notes stay visible where they help users check the result themselves.
Corrections
If a tool gives the wrong result, hides an important limitation, or explains something badly, fixing it comes first.
- Reports can be sent to contact@simplefreetools.com.
- Useful reports include the page URL, the input values or file type, and the result you expected.
- Material fixes are reflected in the page copy, tool behavior, formula, or last-verified information.
When to double-check
Most tools here are straightforward. Some calculators touch money, work, tax, family, or legal rules. Those results can help you understand the likely answer, but they are not a final decision from an official body or a professional adviser.
- Use official sources or qualified professionals for high-stakes decisions.
- Pages that affect rights, obligations, or money include a clear disclaimer.
- For files and conversions, check the output before deleting or replacing the original.
