Small, fast APIs for files, media and domains.

Seven APIs, 44 endpoints, one key. Convert an image, merge a PDF, screenshot a page, read a scan, transcode a video, audit a domain's mail security, draw a barcode. Plain HTTP, no SDK, no client library to keep up to date.

Try it right now, with no key

Every endpoint answers a demo quota of 25 calls a day per IP address. Paste this in a terminal.

curl "https://173-249-18-142.sslip.io/v1/qr?data=https://example.com&size=400" --output qr.png

Something more useful — a full mail-security audit of any domain, graded A to F:

curl -X POST "https://173-249-18-142.sslip.io/v1/domain/mail-security" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain":"github.com"}'

Or use the free tools, no key at all

Eight browser tools built on the same endpoints. Free, no signup, no watermark, nothing stored.

SSL certificate checker

Free SSL/TLS certificate checker: issuer, subject alternative names, protocol, cipher, chain length and the exact number of days before expiry.

HTTP security headers checker

Free HTTP security headers test: HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, COOP and CORP, scored A to F.

IP blacklist checker

Free DNSBL lookup across Spamhaus ZEN, SpamCop, Barracuda, SORBS, PSBL, WPBL, UCEPROTECT and more, with the listing reason when the list publishes one.

QR code generator

Free QR code generator: URL, text, Wi-Fi credentials, vCard and more.

Why this exists

One key, not seven vendors

Most projects need a bit of image work, a bit of PDF work and one screenshot. That is normally three signups, three invoices and three SDKs. Here it is one key and one bill.

Priced per call, not per seat

$19 a month buys 20,000 calls across every endpoint. Nothing is metered twice and nothing is reserved for an enterprise tier.

Your files are not kept

Uploads live in a per-request scratch directory that is removed as soon as the response is written. Nothing is stored, indexed or used for training.

Written by a network administrator

The domain and mail-security API is the part we use ourselves: SPF lookup counting against the RFC 7208 limit, DKIM selector probing, DMARC parsing, certificate expiry.

Get a free key

200 calls a month, every endpoint, no card. The key appears once on this page — copy it somewhere safe, we only keep a hash.

We use the address to deliver the key and to warn you before a quota runs out. Nothing else, no list, no third party.
