Supported Browsers
ToolboxLane's tools run using standard browser APIs rather than a plugin or a server round-trip, so support depends on what your browser implements.
Recommended
The current or previous major release of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on desktop or mobile. All tools are built and tested against these.
What each tool actually needs
- Every tool: the File API (to select a file) and Blob/Object URLs (to hand back a result) — supported by every browser released in the last several years.
- Image tools: the Canvas 2D API for decoding, transforming, and re-encoding images.
- HEIC to JPEG Converter: WebAssembly, used by the HEIC decoding library. A small number of very old or locked-down browsers disable WebAssembly; you'll see a clear error rather than a silent failure.
- Reorder / Rotate / Extract PDF Pages and Split PDF: Web Workers, used by the PDF page-rendering library to keep thumbnail generation off the main thread.
- QR Code Generator: the Canvas 2D API, same as the image tools.
Known variance
- HEIC decoding quality and speed can vary between browsers, since it depends on the browser's own WebAssembly performance rather than a native codec.
- Very old mobile browser versions may not support all five vendor libraries ToolboxLane self-hosts; an unsupported browser produces a visible error message on the affected tool rather than a partial or silent result.
