Turn messy, minified, or unformatted code into clean, readable, properly indented output.
Format, validate, and minify JSON data. Detects syntax errors with precise line/column numbers. Supports JSON Schema validation for Draft 07 and 2020-12. Ideal for debugging API responses and editing configuration files like tsconfig, .eslintrc, or VS Code settings.
Beautify or minify code in 17 languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, JSON, Python, XML, SQL, YAML, GraphQL, Rust, Go, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, and Bash. Each language has language specific formatting rules. Toggle minify mode for production output.
Compare two blocks of text or code side by side and see additions, removals, and changes highlighted. Supports ignore whitespace mode and file upload. Essential for code review, configuration comparison, and debugging content changes.
Generate Draft-07 and Draft 2020-12 JSON Schemas automatically from JSON objects. Infer types, format, and required key constraints.
Convert data between formats and encodings. All processing happens client-side — nothing is uploaded.
Encode text or files to Base64 and decode Base64 back to readable text or original binary files (PNG, JPG, PDF, ZIP, MP3). Supports file upload with live preview.
Escape and unescape text strings for JavaScript/JSON, HTML Entities, XML, SQL, and CSV. Copy safe escaped string snippets directly into source code.
Encode special characters into URL-safe percent-encoding and decode URL-encoded strings back. Essential for building query strings, form URL encoding, and debugging malformed URLs in API requests.
Convert hex color codes (#FF6600) to RGB (rgb(255, 102, 0)) and HSL values. Preview the colour instantly. Useful for designers and developers working across CSS, design tokens, and graphics code.
Convert between binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal number systems. Includes ASCII text to binary conversion and bitwise utility operations. Handy for low-level debugging, embedded systems work, and understanding how data is represented in memory.
Convert CSV data into SQL INSERT INTO queries for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL Server, and Oracle with auto-type detection.
Convert Markdown to clean HTML markup or convert HTML back into Markdown with live preview.
Convert images (PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP) directly to Base64 Data URIs or decode Base64 strings to downloadable image files.
Deconstruct URLs into protocol, host, pathname, query parameters, and hash with live search parameter editor.
Convert YAML to JSON and JSON to YAML with live preview and error highlighting. Supports custom indentation and key sorting. Useful for translating between Kubernetes manifests (YAML) and API payloads (JSON), or between Docker Compose files and configuration services.
Generate secure credentials, inspect tokens, and compute hashes entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API.
Calculate Linux chmod numeric octal permissions and symbolic notation. Toggle Read, Write, and Execute checkboxes for User, Group, and Others with terminal command generator.
Generate cryptographically strong passwords with customizable length (up to 128 characters). Toggle uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols independently. Uses crypto.getRandomValues() for true randomness — passwords never leave your browser. Designed for API keys, database credentials, admin accounts, and SSH passphrases.
Compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and HMAC hashes from text input. Supports batch processing (one hash per line). Useful for verifying file integrity, generating checksums, and building HMAC signed API requests.
Decode the header and payload of any JSON Web Token. View claims like issuer (iss), subject (sub), expiration (exp), and custom claims. Shows an automatic expiry countdown. Useful for debugging OAuth flows, verifying token contents, and inspecting authentication headers.
Generate and sign custom JSON Web Tokens (JWT) locally for testing APIs. Configure header, payload claims (iss, sub, exp, iat), HMAC algorithms (HS256, HS384, HS512), and secret keys.
Generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) in versions 1, 3, 4, and 5. Supports bulk generation (multiple UUIDs at once). Uses crypto.randomUUID() for v4 and custom namespace/UUID pairs for v3 and v5. Essential for database primary keys, API resource identifiers, and distributed system IDs.
Test patterns, write and preview markup, and compare text — with instant feedback.
Test regular expressions in real time. View all matches, capture groups, named groups, and replacement results. Supports common flags (g, i, m, s, u, y). Use the JavaScript mode for .match() and .replace() patterns, or the Python mode for re module patterns. Includes a cheat sheet for quick reference.
Generate regex patterns automatically from example text and target matches. Enter the strings you want to match and the tool detects the pattern using intelligent analysis — email, URL, IP, date, hex color, or a generalized character-class pattern. Test the generated pattern live against sample text.
Write Markdown with live HTML preview. Supports headings, lists, code blocks, tables, images, and links. Auto-saves your content to localStorage. Export formatted output as text. Perfect for drafting README files, documentation, or blog posts before committing.
Write, preview, and experiment with code directly in the browser — no local setup needed.
Write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and see the result rendered in a live preview iframe. Includes popular CSS libraries (Tailwind, Bootstrap). Ideal for prototyping UI components, testing layout ideas, or creating embeddable widgets without setting up a local dev environment.
Generate QR codes from URLs, text, or any string. Choose size and download as PNG. Privacy note: QR generation happens via an API call, while decoding is done client-side.
Upload an image containing a QR code and extract the encoded text. Full client-side decoding — your images are never uploaded to a server. Useful for scanning QR codes from screenshots, product packaging, or business cards.
Debug webhooks, validate API responses, test endpoints, and generate code snippets for HTTP requests.
Generate realistic mock webhook payloads for Stripe (payment events), GitHub (push, pull request, issue events), and Shopify (order, product events). View the full payload structure, headers, and sample responses. Useful for testing webhook handlers, building integrations, and understanding third-party API event formats.
Find your public IP address, ISP, city, region, country, coordinates, timezone, and ASN. Supports custom IP lookup — check any public IP address. Uses ip-api.com for geolocation data. No signup, no API keys, all client-side.
Paste an HTTP response (status line, headers, body) and get a formatted breakdown. See the status code meaning, header table, and syntax highlighted body. Supports JSON and XML responses. Useful for debugging HTTP clients, inspecting proxy output, and learning HTTP protocol details.
Convert a cURL command into ready-to-use code snippets for JavaScript fetch, Axios, Python requests, and Go. Parses URL, method, headers, and body from the cURL string. Saves time when translating API examples from documentation into your language of choice.
Select properties from raw JSON payloads and instantly generate property extraction code in Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, C#, Go, Rust, and PHP.
Sanitize terminal logs and server stack traces before pasting into ChatGPT or Claude. Redacts API keys, Bearer tokens, AWS secrets, passwords, and PII 100% locally.
Convert timestamps, build cron schedules, and work with time-related developer formats.
Convert Unix epoch timestamps (seconds and milliseconds) to human readable dates and vice versa. Auto detects seconds vs milliseconds. Shows UTC and local time, day of the week, ISO 8601 format, and relative time. Handles negative timestamps (pre-1970) and the year 2038 boundary.
Build cron expressions visually with a human readable translation. Select minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week from dropdowns. Shows the expression in standard 5-field format. Useful for scheduling cron jobs, CI/CD pipeline triggers, and serverless function schedules.
Decode any cron expression into plain English. Paste a cron string like "*/15 * * * 1-5" and read the schedule described in simple language. Supports standard 5-field expressions, @-presets, ranges, steps, and lists. The inverse of the Cron Expression Builder.
There are hundreds of free developer tools scattered across the web — individual sites for JSON formatting, code beautifying, Base64 encoding, and so on. ToolHub brings Free tools into one consistent interface so you do not waste time context-switching between tabs. Every tool shares the same terminal-inspired design, the same keyboard shortcuts, and the same privacy guarantee: your data stays on your machine.
Many popular alternatives inject ads, require signup for basic features, or limit how much data you can process. ToolHub has none of these restrictions. Tools like the JSON formatter handle arbitrarily large payloads. The password generator uses the Web Crypto API for genuine randomness. The YAML-to-JSON converter shows live syntax errors as you type, so you can fix problems before they reach your deployment pipeline.
The programmatic SEO variant pages — like JavaScript code formatter, JSON validator, and epoch to date converter — target specific long-tail search queries with dedicated pages. Each variant has unique content, FAQ, and metadata so you find the exact tool for your task without wading through generic results.
Yes. All tools are completely free to use with no hidden charges, no usage limits, and no signup required. There are no "pro" features locked behind a paywall. Every tool runs entirely in your browser — no server costs for us, no privacy risk for you.
No. None of the tools require authentication or account creation. Just open a tool page and start using it. Tool preferences (like indentation size or language selection) are stored in your browser's localStorage, not on any server.
Yes. The vast majority of tools process everything in your browser — your data never leaves your machine. The only exceptions are the QR Code Generator (which uses a third-party API) and the Webhook Tester (which sends mock payloads to your specified endpoint). No tool stores, logs, or transmits your input data to our servers.
The JSON Formatter & Validator (/json-formatter) includes optional JSON Schema validation against Draft 07 and 2020-12 schemas. Paste your schema and payload side by side to validate structure, types, required fields, and constraints.
Use the Password Generator at /password-generator. Set the length to 24+ characters, enable all character sets (uppercase, lowercase, digits, symbols), and click generate. The result is cryptographically random and suitable for database credentials, admin accounts, and API keys. Store it in a password manager immediately.
The HTML Playground (/html-playground) focuses on front-end prototyping — write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with a live preview iframe. The Code Playground (/code-playground) is a general purpose code editor with syntax highlighting for multiple languages, more suitable for writing and sharing snippets without rendering them.
Once you have visited a tool page and the JavaScript has been cached by your browser, most tools will continue to work offline or on unreliable connections because they run entirely client-side. Pages that fetch external resources (like the QR Code Generator) require an internet connection.
