    Mini Tools: free tools for everyday design work

    Design Wallet now makes its own tools. They're free, run in your browser and need no sign-up, and they all live together under Mini Tools in the nav.

    Color Code Converter

    Type a colour once and get it in every format you need.

    • Six formats at once. HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, OKLCH and CMYK, updating as you type.
    • Copy in one click. Every value is ready to paste into CSS or your design file.
    • Export your colours as a set of codes to keep or share.

    Glassmorphism CSS Generator

    Design a frosted-glass effect visually, then take the code with you.

    • Live controls for blur, transparency, saturation, tint, border, depth, drop shadow and glow, with a live preview.
    • Copy as CSS, Tailwind or React.
    • Randomize with locks. Pin the settings you like and reroll the rest, or reset to start over.

    All in one place

    • A new Mini Tools menu in the nav, with an icon and a one-line description for each tool.
    • A Mini Tools page listing every tool, so new ones are easy to find as they arrive.

    "Know your money" dashboard: What designers earn

    The Know your money salary dashboard, showing a senior product designer's median pay, range and distribution

    A free salary dashboard for designers. Pick a role and a level, then narrow it down by city, work mode, employer and company type, and every chart updates as you go.

    • 11 design roles, intern to VP. Median pay, the middle 50% range, growth with experience, and how cities, disciplines and company types compare.
    • Pay abroad. Choose a foreign employer to compare the United States, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Singapore and the UAE.
    • INR or USD. Switch every figure on the page between rupees and dollars.
    • Take it with you. Export a five-page PDF report of your selection, or flip to a table of every figure.
    • List your tool. Tool makers can book a call to get their product listed.

    New Hot trends collections

    Three new collections for the tools designers are talking about right now, pinned under Hot trends at the top of the sidebar so they're one click away.

    • MCP Connectors. Connect your design tools to AI assistants.
    • AI Creative Suites. All-in-one AI platforms for images, video and design.
    • Vibe Coding Tools. Turn designs and ideas into working apps and sites.

    • The library is the homepage. Browse 400+ tools from the first screen, with a sidebar of categories.
