# Tarumak Studio

> Tarumak Studio is a collection of 56 free browser-based tools for designers, marketers, and developers. All processing happens inside the user's browser — files are never uploaded to a server. The site is built and maintained by Sudhir Kumar, a freelance UI/UX and graphic designer based in Ambala, India, with over 15 years of experience.

The site offers tools across five categories — Image Tools (15), PDF Tools (15), Converter Tools (8), Marketing Designer Tools (8), and Developer Tools (10) — plus 30 in-depth blog articles covering practical guides for each tool category. Every tool runs entirely client-side using JavaScript APIs (Canvas, FileReader, pdf-lib, jsPDF), making the site privacy-first by design: nothing is sent to any server.
