How it works
Parsing and encoding run entirely in JavaScript here—no server sees your pasted content unless a tool explicitly says it fetches remote data.
Common mistakes
- Mixing tabs and spaces can change output alignment unexpectedly.
- Escaped characters may appear double-escaped after repeated transforms.
- Always verify output encoding before saving to production files.
Use this tool for
- Formatting or minifying snippets before pasting into a repo or ticket.
- Checking encodings (Base64, hex, URL) without third-party paste services.
- One-off developer checks during debugging.
Common questions
