Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe when I paste it into these tools?

Yes. Formatting, encoding and conversion all happen locally in your browser. Nothing you paste is transmitted to, or stored on, any server — there is no backend involved in the processing at all.

Do these tools keep working after the page loads?

Once the page has loaded, every operation runs locally in your browser. No text or file is uploaded at any point, and the result is available instantly via Copy or Download.

What can the JSON formatter do?

It beautifies JSON with 2, 4 or 8 space indentation, minifies it, validates it with a clear error message, shows an expandable tree view, and lets you copy the result or download it as a .json file.

Does the Base64 tool support Unicode and emoji?

Yes. Text is encoded and decoded as UTF-8, so Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, emoji and other non-Latin characters round-trip correctly in both directions.

How does the YAML to Properties converter handle nested keys and comments?

Nested keys are flattened with dot notation (for example server.port=8080) and rebuilt into a nested structure when converting back. Comments are preserved and attached to the key they precede; blank lines and column alignment are not kept.
