Encoders & dev utilities
Small utilities you reach for several times a week: convert a cURL command into code, encode and decode Base64 and URLs, escape HTML, make a QR code, work in other number bases and calculate Unix permissions.
Encoders & dev utilities on BackendBench: Paste-anything doctor (paste any snippet, we detect it and check it); AI-output verifier (trust report for what chatgpt or copilot gave you); Data size converter (kb, mib, bits and transfer time); Checksum calculator (crc32, crc32c, adler, fnv, hashcode); JWT builder & verifier (sign and verify hs256, rs256, es256); CORS config builder (spring, express and nginx cors); Set-Cookie builder (httponly, secure, samesite, prefixes); Cache-Control builder (max-age, no-cache, immutable); cURL command builder (a form to a correctly quoted curl); Smart decoder (peel base64, hex, url, gzip and jwt layers); cURL converter (curl to java, spring, python, go and javascript); Base64 encode / decode (unicode-safe, url-safe option); URL encode / decode (plus a url and query parser); HTML entities (escape and unescape html); QR code generator (download svg or png, no tracking); Number base converter (binary, octal, decimal, hex); chmod calculator (permissions as octal or rwx). Each one is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
Paste and check
Paste anything and get it identified, or verify what an AI wrote.
HTTP and the web
curl, CORS, cookies, caching and JWTs.
Encode and decode
Base64, URLs, HTML entities, number bases and mystery strings.
Handy utilities
Sizes, checksums, QR codes and Unix permissions.
