Getting started with Dusrel

Dusrel is an independent, privacy-first collection of free tools and apps that run in your browser. Its tagline is “Your privacy matters”, and its core idea is simple: useful software should not ask for your data in return. You can browse everything at dusrel.com, and most tools need no account and nothing to install.

This guide shows you where things live and walks you through using one tool from start to finish.

Where to find things

There are two places to start:

• The apps hub at dusrel.com/apps/ lists the full apps. Four are live today:
  • ShrinkIt — resize, compress and convert images in your browser (shrinkit.dusrel.com).
  • Ricsline — a maker for synced song lyrics (LRC files).
  • ResumeForge — a resume builder.
  • PDF Tools — tools for working with PDF files in your browser.
• The quick tools at dusrel.com/pass/ are six small, single-purpose tools:
  • Password generator
  • Password strength checker
  • Username generator
  • Word counter
  • QR code generator
  • Age calculator

Eight more apps — Drive, Chat, Docs, Sheets, Notes, Mail, Meet and Calendar — are listed as coming soon. They are not available yet, so this guide does not describe them.

The site is available in English and Hindi. The Hindi version lives under /hi/ — for example, the apps hub is at dusrel.com/hi/apps/.

Walkthrough: make a QR code

The QR code generator is a good first tool because it shows the whole pattern: open a page, do the work, download the result. No account is needed at any step.

1. Open dusrel.com/pass/qr-code-generator/.
2. Type or paste the text you want the code to hold — usually a web address, such as https://dusrel.com.
3. Pick a look from the template cards. Classic is the plain square style; Rounded, Dots, Circle and the others change the shape of the modules and the corner markers. The small preview updates as you choose.
4. Optional: change the module and background colours, or upload a small logo to place in the centre. If you add a logo, the error-correction level is raised automatically so the code stays readable.
5. Choose a download size and download the code as a PNG image (or as an SVG if you need a vector file).
6. Test it before you share it: point your phone camera at the downloaded image and check that it opens the right address.

That is the full flow, and it is the same shape for the other quick tools: open the page, enter your input, adjust the options, and download or copy the result. Your input is processed in your browser, not sent to a server — see Privacy on your device for what that means and which products it covers.

Tips for your first visit

• Start from the apps hub if you want a full app, and from /pass/ if you want one small job done fast.
• If a tool asks for a file, such as ShrinkIt asking for images, the file stays on your device while it is processed.
• If something looks wrong on a small phone screen, try rotating the phone or using a wider window — the tools are built to work on phones, tablets and desktops.
