Hash

Compute a cryptographic hash (digest) of text, for checksums, cache keys or comparing values. The text is hashed as UTF-8.

Base64

Encode text as Base64, or decode Base64 back to text. Used in data URLs, HTTP Basic authentication, JWTs and email attachments.

URL encode / decode

Percent-encode text so it can go safely in a URL query string, or decode an encoded string back to readable text.

Form encoding (application/x-www-form-urlencoded): spaces become +.

Hex

Convert text to its UTF-8 bytes in hexadecimal, or hex bytes back to text. Handy for inspecting encodings and binary data.

XML escape / unescape

Replace the characters that have a special meaning in XML and HTML with entities, or turn entities back into characters.

Escapes & < > " '. Unescape also handles numeric references like A and A.

Case converter

Convert identifiers between naming conventions: camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case, CONSTANT_CASE and more.

Converts as you type. Each line is converted separately, so you can paste a list of names.

Split

Split text into parts on a delimiter or a regular expression and see every part with its index.

Substring

Extract part of a text by character position, counting from 0.

Negative indexes count from the end: start -3 gives the last 3 characters.

Transform

Apply a quick clean-up to text: sort or deduplicate lines, trim or remove whitespace, or reverse it.

Stats

Count characters, Unicode code points, UTF-8 bytes, words and lines. Useful to check length limits of fields and messages.

JSON validator

Check that text is valid JSON, see exactly where it breaks, and get it formatted or minified. Duplicate keys are reported as errors.

Regex tester

Test a Java regular expression against your text as you type: matches are highlighted, with their position and capture groups. Optionally try a replacement.

Java syntax (java.util.regex), as used by String.matches, Pattern and Spring. In the replacement, $1 or ${name} insert a group.

UUID generator

Generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), one or up to 100 at a time.

v7 UUIDs start with a timestamp, so they sort by creation time: a good choice for database keys.

Password generator

Generate a strong random password with a cryptographically secure generator. It is never cached.

The password contains at least one character of each selected type.

Random string

Generate a random string of the chosen length and characters, for tokens, test data or identifiers.

Java POJO from CSV

Paste a CSV header and get a Java field for every column, with a guessed type. Add a few data rows under the header and the types are taken from the values.

Values: true/false/yes/no → Boolean, whole numbers → BigInteger, decimals → BigDecimal, 2026-01-01 → LocalDate, 2026-01-01 09:30 → LocalDateTime, anything else → String. Wrapper types are used because an empty cell means null; choose primitive types when every row has a value.

Timestamp converter

Convert a Unix timestamp (epoch) to a readable date and back. Paste seconds, milliseconds or a date like 2026-01-01T09:00:00Z: the unit is recognised automatically.

How it works

What is a Unix timestamp? It counts the seconds since 1 January 1970 at 00:00 UTC (the "epoch"), the same number everywhere in the world. Time zones only matter when you turn it into a date.

Seconds or milliseconds? Linux (date +%s), PHP and most databases use seconds (10 digits today). Java (System.currentTimeMillis()) and JavaScript (Date.now()) use milliseconds (13 digits). Microseconds have 16 digits, nanoseconds 19.

Good to know: Unix time ignores leap seconds, and 32-bit systems that store it as a signed int overflow on 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC (the "year 2038 problem"). Use 64-bit values (long in Java).

Cron expression

Build a schedule and get the cron expression for Linux crontab, Spring (Java @Scheduled) and Quartz, with the next run times.

The end hour is not included: from 9 to 17 means the last run is before 17:00, so nothing runs in the evening or at night.

Linux has 5 fields and no seconds. Spring puts seconds in front (6 fields). Quartz also starts with seconds, accepts an optional year and needs ? in day of month or day of week. Spring and Quartz days are written as names (MON-SUN) because the two number them differently (in Quartz 1 = Sunday).
