Why I stopped pasting into online Encode / Decode tools

Every online Encode / Decode tool I used had the same quiet flaw: whatever you
paste gets POSTed to someone's server. For a Encode / Decode, that paste is often exactly
the sensitive thing — a token, a config, an API response.

So I built Encode / Decode to not do that. Base64, URL, hex, HTML, JWT, ROT13 — auto-detect what you paste — and it runs entirely in your
browser, so there's nothing to send and nothing to breach.

You don't have to take my word for it: open DevTools → Network, use the tool,
and watch the tab stay empty. One HTML file, View-Source-able.
