Frequently Asked Questions About Text Tools For Developers
Are these tools safe to use with sensitive data?
Yes. All FlipMyCase tools process text entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No data is sent to any server. You can verify this by using the tools while offline after the page has loaded.
Do these tools work offline?
Most tools work offline once the page has loaded, since all processing is client-side JavaScript. A few tools that generate visual output (like the QR code generator) may require an internet connection for specific features.
Is there an API for these tools?
FlipMyCase does not currently offer an API. All tools are browser-based. For programmatic use, most of these functions are available in standard libraries for Python, Node.js, Go, and other languages.
What is the largest text size these tools can handle?
Most tools handle texts up to several megabytes without issues. Performance depends on your browser and device. For very large files (100MB+), a command-line tool may be more efficient.
Are these tools free forever?
Yes. FlipMyCase is free with no premium tier or paywalls. The site is supported by non-intrusive advertising.
