Use the star-shaped Save tool control beside the tool-status labels. Select it again whenever you want to remove the favorite.
Return through My Tools
Open My Tools from the header to see favorites and the twelve tools used most recently in this browser.
Useful for repeat visits
Why save frequently used calculators and converters?
A large tool library is helpful when an unusual task appears, but repeat users usually rely on a much smaller personal set. A writer may return to Word Counter, Character Counter, Text Cleaner, and Case Converter; a developer may rely on JSON/CSV, Base64, URL encoding, and HTML/Markdown; a household may repeatedly use date, percentage, budget, cooking, or measurement tools. Saving those pages creates a shorter route back to the tools that matter to that particular visitor.
Browser favorites are especially useful when the website contains several similarly named tools or when a task occurs only occasionally. Instead of remembering the exact category or repeating a search-engine query, the visitor can open My Tools and choose from a familiar list. Recently used history covers a different need: it remembers tools even when the user did not decide in advance that they were worth saving.
Favorite tools and recently used tools solve different problems
A favorite is an intentional bookmark. It stays in the list until it is removed or browser storage is cleared, making it appropriate for regular calculations, established workflows, teaching resources, repeated formatting tasks, and utilities used at work or home. The library accepts up to fifty favorites so it can remain useful without becoming an unlimited duplicate of the entire website.
The recent list is automatic and limited to twelve unique tools. Opening a tool moves it to the beginning of the list, while older entries fall away as new tools are used. This makes recent history helpful after a multi-step session, an interrupted task, or a page discovered only moments earlier. Users can clear the recent list without removing favorites, or clear everything when using a shared device.

Saved privately with browser localStorage
The free My Tools feature stores its small library in localStorage belonging to wowwebtools.com inside the current browser profile. WOW Webtools does not need an account database to remember the selection. The saved record contains the tool name, page path, category, short description, and a local timestamp used for ordering.
The feature does not store text, files, calculations, images, generated results, form values, or Workbench transfer contents. Those belong to the individual tool’s documented behavior. Browser storage is convenient rather than permanent: users should expect the collection to disappear when site data is cleared, localStorage is blocked, or a different device, browser, profile, or private window is used.
What is saved?
- Tool name and internal WOW Webtools page path
- Tool category and short public description
- A local timestamp for favorite and recent ordering
What is not saved?
- Text entered into counters, cleaners, encoders, or converters
- Uploaded images, documents, videos, or extracted text
- Calculation inputs, generated results, passwords, or personal profiles
Browser limitations
When saved online tools do not synchronize
The absence of an account is what keeps this feature free and simple, but it also means there is no cloud synchronization. A favorite saved on a work computer will not automatically appear on a phone, and two browser profiles on the same device maintain separate storage. Private-browsing sessions may remove local data when the private window closes, while privacy extensions and strict browser settings may prevent saving altogether.
For important professional bookmarks, keep a separate browser bookmark or documented workflow as a backup. My Tools is designed for convenience and faster navigation rather than permanent records. If storage is unavailable, the public tool library, categories, search, Workbench page, and direct URLs continue to work normally.
Using favorites with WOW Workbench
Favorites shorten the route to a known tool, while WOW Workbench connects the results of compatible text and developer tools. A user might save JSON/CSV Converter and Base64 Encoder for regular access, then use Workbench to transfer a result during a particular session. The favorite remains in localStorage until removed, while Workbench uses separate session storage and expires transfers after thirty minutes.
Keeping these functions separate protects user expectations. Saving a tool never saves the content used inside it, and transferring a result never automatically turns the destination into a permanent favorite. Each action is explicit, visible, and reversible from the relevant interface.
Frequently asked questions
How do I save a favorite online tool?
Open a functional WOW Webtools page and select Save tool beside the tool-status labels. The star changes to show that the tool is saved, and it appears in My Tools.
Do I need an account to save tools?
No. Favorites and recent-tool history are stored in localStorage in the current browser profile, so no account, email address, password, or subscription is required.
Are the words, files, or calculations I enter saved in My Tools?
No. The browser library stores tool details such as the name, path, category, description, and local timestamp. It does not store the content entered into a tool.
Can I see my saved tools on another device?
No. The free browser-only version does not synchronize between devices, browsers, or browser profiles. Each local collection is separate.
Why did my favorite tools disappear?
Clearing website data, resetting the browser, using private browsing, blocking localStorage, or switching devices or profiles can remove or hide the saved collection.
How many tools can I save?
The browser library keeps up to 50 favorite tools and the 12 most recently opened tools.
Can I remove saved and recent tools?
Yes. My Tools lets you remove individual favorites, clear recent history, or clear the entire local collection.
Is My Tools indexed by Google?
No. The personalized My Tools dashboard is marked noindex because its contents belong to the individual browser. This public guide is the indexable explanation of the feature.
