What Lime Convert does

Paste text on the left, get the result on the right. That covers most of what happens here: changing case, sorting a list, pulling text out of a screenshot, turning a spreadsheet export into JSON, checking whether a barcode’s check digit adds up.

Every tool but Live Word Cloud runs in your browser. The text you paste is never uploaded, and there is no account to make. Live Word Cloud is the exception because the answers have to travel from the audience’s phones to your screen, so they pass through its server.

Why do this in a browser tab?

Because the alternative is worse. A spreadsheet formula to title-case 400 rows takes longer to write than to paste. A regular expression to strip the formatting out of a pasted email works until it meets a non-breaking space. Some jobs are too small for a script and too tedious by hand, and that gap is what these tools fill.

The tools that get used most are rarely the clever ones. Counting characters for a meta description, removing duplicate lines, spelling a surname over the phone: unglamorous, and needed on a Tuesday afternoon.

We are Lime Convert

Lime Convert started because the free converters we were using kept failing in the same two ways. Either the tool did one thing and stopped short of the option we actually needed, or it buried that option under three menus and a banner ad.

So the rule here is that the common case takes one paste and no configuration, and the uncommon case is still possible without leaving the page. Sort List handles natural order, so “item2” lands before “item10” instead of after it. Title Case follows the style guide you pick, because Chicago writes “Running through the Streets” and APA writes “Running Through the Streets”. The detail is the point.
