Privacy details

URL parser processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Your result

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

URL parser explained

Inspect an absolute URL with the browser’s URL parser. Query parameters stay in order and repeated names remain separate entries. The normalized URL exposes browser handling of default ports, paths and encoded characters.

Next: URL encoder and decoder

A worked example

For ?q=hello+world&q=again, the query list contains two q entries. The first value is hello world because query parsing treats plus as a space.

Before you use the result

No URL is opened or requested. Syntax parsing does not establish that a website exists or is safe. Credentials embedded in a URL remain visible in the result, so review before sharing it.
