The Internet is home to a lot of really cool stuff — including resources and tools that can make your life easier and more productive — if you know how to look for it. Fortunately for you, we’ve compiled a list to hasten things along. So if you need help making your work more efficient and effective but you’re on a tight budget, maximize your lightning-fast Internet connection and make sure to bookmark these precious websites that can cater to one (or more) of your needs.
If you’re good at writing but need help putting slides together, try Gamma.app.
Some people are gifted with creating beautiful, seamless slideshows, but some are better at expressing themselves with words. With Gamma, you can focus on your content while the app forms those thoughts into a presentation. Think of it as Notion meets Canva — flexible templates with fluid layouts where you can insert GIFs, videos, charts, and even websites. It’s also visual and interactive, with features like built-in analytics, quick reactions, and comments that make collaboration faster and more straightforward.
Of course, something that sounds this good comes with a price. Lucky for us, they’re still in beta mode, so you can try it for free here and have access to their advanced features like their content library and advanced analytics. Enjoy!

Whether you’re an employee or student, you’ll likely need to convert files to a different format at some point. CloudConvert can help — just upload a file or drag and drop it and choose which format to convert it to. It will also automatically recommend file formats you can convert the original file to. Do this all for free, but the site does have its limits: You can only convert up to 25 files a day.
If you want to see all the shows on the streaming site you’re subscribed to, try JustWatch.
