Developer Tools

Free Developer Tools

A complete kit of privacy-first developer utilities — format and validate JSON, encode Base64, hash text, decode JWTs, test regular expressions, build cron schedules, design CSS gradients and preview Markdown. Everything runs entirely in your browser, so your code and secrets never touch a server.

Base64 Encode / Decode

Convert text or files to and from Base64 instantly in your browser.

Code Formatter

Beautify, minify and validate JSON, HTML, CSS, SQL, XML and YAML.

Regex Tester & Builder

Test patterns against text and build common regex from presets.

Slug / URL Encoder

Clean broken URLs or turn any title into a safe URL slug.

Hash Generator

Compute SHA-1/256/384/512 digests of any text, instantly on-device.

Color Converter

Convert HEX, RGB and HSL and check WCAG contrast in real time.

Unix Timestamp Converter

Convert between Unix time, ISO 8601 and human dates both ways.

JWT Decoder

Decode JWT header and payload locally — no secret, no upload.

Crontab Schedule Creator

Build and decode cron expressions with plain-English explanations and next run times.

Number Base Converter

Convert between binary, octal, decimal and hex — plus a bitwise calculator.

Text Encryptor

Password-protect text with AES-256 encryption, right in your browser.

Webmaster File Generator

Generate robots.txt, sitemap.xml and .htaccess files in seconds.

JSON to TypeScript

Paste a JSON payload, get TypeScript interfaces — nested, named and merged.

CSS Gradient Generator

Design linear, radial and conic CSS gradients with a live preview.

Markdown Previewer

Write Markdown and see the rendered HTML side by side, instantly.

Document Privacy Inspector

See what a PDF or Office file says about you, then strip it.

CSS Theme Generator

Turn one brand colour into full light and dark themes with OKLCH ramps.

Flexbox Playground

Set every flex property with a control, watch the boxes move, copy the CSS or Tailwind.

CSS Grid Playground

Build a grid with sliders and selects, span cells by clicking them, copy the CSS or Tailwind.

SVG Optimizer

Shrink an SVG with SVGO — sizes before and after, gzipped too — and get it back as a React component.

Sensitive Data Scanner

Find emails, card numbers, keys and tokens in text or logs and redact them — or swap them for reversible stand-ins before an AI sees them.

OAuth Flow Simulator

Step through OAuth and OpenID Connect flows with tokens minted in your browser.

Encryption Algorithm Simulator

Watch AES, SHA-256, RSA and Diffie-Hellman work, one step at a time.

HTML & CSS Playground

Write HTML, CSS and JavaScript and see it render, with a console for what it logs.

Which developer tool?

One line each: the situation the tool is the answer to.

ToolBest when
Code FormatterA payload or config is unreadable, invalid, or needs converting between JSON, YAML and CSV.
JSON to TypeScriptYou have a JSON sample and need the TypeScript types for it.
Regex Tester & BuilderA pattern does not match what you expect, or you need to see every match in a log file.
Crontab Schedule CreatorYou need to know when a schedule fires, or write one without guessing the fields.
JWT DecoderA token is being rejected and you want to see its claims and expiry.
OAuth Flow SimulatorThe sign-in itself is the problem: which request carries which parameter, and why.
Encryption Algorithm SimulatorYou want to see inside a cipher or a hash rather than call one.
HTML & CSS PlaygroundA snippet of markup, styling or script you want to see render right now.
Base64 Encode / DecodeSomething is base64 and you need the text, or the other way round.
Hash GeneratorA download should match a published checksum, or you need a digest of some text.
Unix Timestamp ConverterA Unix timestamp needs to become a date, or a date a timestamp.
Color ConverterA colour is in the wrong notation, or two colours need a contrast check.
CSS Gradient GeneratorYou want CSS for a gradient you can see while you tune it.
Markdown PreviewerA README or post should be checked before it is pushed.
Slug / URL EncoderA title needs to become a URL, or a query string needs encoding.
Number Base ConverterHex, binary, octal and decimal, plus bitwise operations.
Text EncryptorA secret has to travel over a channel you do not trust.
Document Privacy InspectorA document is about to leave the building and you want to know what it carries.
Webmaster File GeneratorA new site needs robots.txt, a sitemap and the other root files.
CSS Theme GeneratorOne brand colour has to become a whole light and dark theme, as CSS variables or a Tailwind config.
Flexbox PlaygroundA row or column will not align the way you expect and you want to see each property move the boxes.
CSS Grid PlaygroundA layout needs columns, gaps and cells that span, with the CSS written for you.
SVG OptimizerAn exported SVG is bloated, or you need it as a React component with the attributes already renamed.
Sensitive Data ScannerA log, export or config is about to be shared and you need the emails, numbers and keys found and redacted first.

Most of these accept text from each other through Send to, so formatting, hashing and encoding chain without copy-paste.

About these developer tools

Most day-to-day development involves a small set of recurring text operations, and the errors cluster where they look interchangeable. Encoding, encryption and hashing are the classic case: all three turn readable input into something unreadable, and only one of them protects anything. The tools here keep those distinctions explicit — the Base64 page tells you it is not encryption, the hash generator explains why a digest cannot be reversed, and the JWT decoder is clear that decoding proves nothing about a signature.

The pages are built for the debugging workflow rather than one-off conversions. Payloads chain from one tool into the next — decode Base64, then hash the result, or format JSON pulled out of a token — and the regex and cron tools show their work as you type, because those two syntaxes are where a silent misreading costs the most. Everything here also works offline once loaded, which matters the day you are debugging on a train.
