Toolpit

Create & design

The other tools on Toolpit take a file and change it. These three start from nothing: a resume, a chart, a QR code. They are also the tools where what you type is most personal — an employment history, unreleased revenue, a Wi-Fi password — so it matters more than anywhere else that none of it is uploaded.

Create & design

Which builder do you need?

A grid of names does not help much when two of them sound alike. Find the row that matches what you are actually trying to do.

  • A CV that will survive an applicant tracking system

    Resume builder — Exports a PDF with a real text layer, so a parser reads words rather than a picture.

  • A chart from numbers you already have

    Chart maker — Paste a table, pick a type, export. The quickest route when the data is already tidy.

  • A chart from a spreadsheet, with control over the mapping

    Chart builder — Drop in a file and choose which columns become axes, series and measures across 30 chart types.

  • A spreadsheet summarised, grouped or pivoted

    Report builder — Filters, groups, subtotals and pivots, then exports a real .xlsx that still recalculates.

  • A QR code for a poster, menu or label

    QR code generator — Encodes your content directly, with no redirect that can expire or start charging later.

Why a CV should be a text PDF, not a picture

Most applications are read first by software that extracts the text and maps it to fields. If your CV is an image — exported as a picture, or built as one large graphic — that software finds nothing, and a strong application can be filtered out before a person ever sees it. A PDF with a real text layer avoids this entirely. So does keeping the structure conventional: recognisable section headings, dates in a consistent format, and contact details as text rather than inside a logo. Design flourishes that break the reading order cost more than they gain.

Picking a chart type that does not mislead

Bars compare quantities across categories and should start at zero, because the length of the bar is the number — a truncated axis makes a 3% difference look like a landslide. Lines show change over time and may start elsewhere, since the slope carries the meaning rather than the height. Pie charts work only for a handful of slices that genuinely sum to a whole, and become unreadable past about five; a bar chart is almost always the clearer answer. Scatter plots are for the relationship between two measures, not for anything with a category axis.

What a QR code actually holds

A QR code contains your content directly — a URL, a Wi-Fi network, a contact card, plain text. Many free generators instead encode a short link on their own domain that redirects to yours, which means the code keeps working only while that service does, and it can be metered, redirected or put behind a subscription after your posters are printed. Encoding the destination directly makes the code permanent and unmeterable, at the cost of a denser pattern and no scan statistics. Choose a higher error-correction level for anything printed, where a scuff or a logo overlay has to be survivable.

Questions

Where is my work saved?

In your own browser. The resume builder autosaves a draft and the chart and report builders can save named templates, all in this browser on this device, because there is no account and no server to sync through. Clearing your site data clears them, and they do not follow you to another machine — treat the exported file as the real artefact.

Does the Excel export keep formatting, or just numbers?

It keeps the formatting: header styling, number and currency formats, alignment, column widths, frozen panes, subtotals, grand totals and conditional colour all survive. Numbers are written as numbers with a display format rather than as text, so the file still adds up and recalculates once it is open.

What file types can I load into the builders?

XLSX, XLS, ODS and CSV, or paste a table straight in. Column types are detected on the way, which is what lets the tools offer sensible defaults for which fields make good axes, groupings and measures.

Can I use the output commercially?

Yes. What you make is yours, there is no watermark on any output, no attribution requirement and no paid tier that unlocks a better version of the same file.

Your files never leave your device. Every tool on this page runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your files are never uploaded, never stored, and never seen by us.
