- User Agent: Detect and analyze browser User-Agent strings to identify operating systems, device types, and client environments in real time or using custom input. This tool is essential for developers, QA testers, and ad tech professionals who need accurate device and browser insights. Instantly parse your current User-Agent string or manually enter one to simulate different user environments. The output breaks down the platform, browser, rendering engine, and device category for easy reference and troubleshooting. Useful for testing compatibility, debugging delivery issues, or building targeting logic, the tool runs fully in-browser to ensure speed, security, and zero data tracking.
- JSON Diff: Compare two JSON objects side-by-side to quickly identify differences in structure, keys, and values. This tool is designed for developers, QA teams, and analysts working with API responses, configuration files, or data migrations. Paste two JSON payloads into the editor, and the tool highlights added, removed, and modified elements in real time. It supports deep nesting, formatted output, and synchronized scrolling for easy visual comparison. Whether you're validating integrations, debugging discrepancies, or reviewing schema changes, this tool makes it fast and intuitive. Everything runs client-side, ensuring privacy, speed, and a distraction-free environment for precise JSON inspection.
- MP4 to HLS Converter: Convert standard MP4 video files into HLS format (.m3u8 playlist and .ts segments) directly in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm. This tool is perfect for developers, streamers, and media engineers who need to test HLS playback or prepare content for adaptive streaming without server-side encoding. Upload an MP4 file and instantly generate a ready-to-serve HLS package—all client-side, with no uploads or external processing. Ideal for debugging, lightweight workflows, or creating demo streams, it supports configurable segment lengths and playback testing. Whether you're building a video app or verifying HLS compatibility, this tool offers fast, private, browser-based video conversion.
- Find and Replace: Search and replace text or code using advanced regex support, case sensitivity, whole word matching, and more—all powered by Monaco Editor. With a large library of preset find/replace rules, this tool makes it easy to clean up HTML, reformat JSON, fix encoding issues, and much more. Perfect for developers, QA engineers, content editors, and anyone working with structured or unstructured text. Preview matches live, use smart presets, and export results with a clean, modern UI that’s fast and fully in-browser.
- URL Redirect Resolver: Trace the full redirect path of any URL—including HTTP status codes, redirect locations, and per-hop latency. This tool is ideal for debugging shortened links, tracking domains, and verifying destination URLs before you click. Lightweight, fast, and fully client-friendly.
