Free Online Developer Tools

Everyday utilities for coding, debugging, and testing.

This page brings together our free online developer tools — a hand-built collection of utilities for everyday coding, debugging, and API work. Format and validate JSON, encode and decode Base64 or URL components, test regular expressions with live match highlighting, decode JWT tokens at the claim level, convert colors between HEX, RGB and HSL, render Markdown to HTML, diff two pieces of text, build cron expressions, and inspect SVG, GeoJSON or raw binary data — all directly in your browser, with no registration and nothing sent to a server.

Whether you're debugging an API response, decoding a session token to check its expiry, comparing two configuration files, generating a cron schedule for a backup job, or pasting a hex dump from a serial capture, the 14 tools below cover the recurring tasks that backend, frontend, and embedded developers run dozens of times a day.

🧾

JSON Formatter / Validator

Base64 Encoder / Decoder

Encode plain text to Base64 or decode it back.

🔗

URL Encoder / Decoder

Percent-encode and decode URL components.

🔍

Regex Tester

Test regular expressions, highlight matches, and inspect groups.

🪪

JWT Decoder

Decode JWT header, payload, and signature, and check expiry.

🎨

Color Picker & Converter

Convert between HEX, RGB, and HSL with a live preview swatch.

📝

Markdown to HTML

🔠

Hex / ASCII / Binary Converter

Live four-panel converter (hex / ASCII / binary / decimal) with hex dump and small file upload.

About the formats and protocols these tools cover

JSON
The de facto serialization format for REST APIs, config files, and structured logs. Our formatter detects syntax errors with line numbers, beautifies or minifies, and validates nested objects.
Base64 & URL encoding
Base64 transports binary data in text-only channels (email headers, JWT, data URIs). Percent-encoding keeps reserved characters safe inside URLs and query strings — get either wrong and the value silently corrupts.
Regular expressions
JavaScript-flavor regex with flags (g, i, m, s,u) and capture groups. The tester highlights every match and shows group indices so you can confirm a pattern before shipping it.
JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
Compact header.payload.signature tokens used for stateless auth. The decoder reveals header algorithm, payload claims (iss, sub, exp, etc.) and tells you whether the token is expired — useful when an API returns 401.
Cron expressions
The five-field schedule language used by Linux crontab, Kubernetes CronJobs, and most CI/CD platforms. Build one visually and read it back in plain English to confirm your weekly backup actually runs on Sunday at 03:00.
Hex, ASCII & binary
The four-panel converter shows the same value in HEX, ASCII, binary and decimal at once — ideal for reverse-engineering serial captures, debugging firmware, or sanity-checking byte order in network protocols.
