I built a free developer conversion tools site (JSON TypeScript, YAML↔JSON, and more)

I kept finding myself with 6 different browser tabs open for the same repetitive conversions — paste JSON here, convert YAML there, decode some Base64 somewhere else.

So I built codeconvert.dev to have them all in one place.

What it does

  • JSON → TypeScript — paste JSON, get TypeScript interfaces instantly
  • JSON ↔ CSV — convert between formats
  • YAML ↔ JSON
  • XML ↔ JSON
  • ENV ↔ JSON — .env files and JSON back and forth
  • Base64 encode/decode
  • URL encode/decode
  • Epoch ↔ Date — timestamp conversions
  • JSON Formatter — format and validate

Why I built it

The JSON→TypeScript one is the main reason. Every time I hit a new API endpoint I'd end up writing interfaces by hand or copy-pasting into some sketchy random site. Having it clean and fast in one place saves a surprising amount of friction.

Everything is free, no sign-up required.

Would genuinely love feedback — what converters are you reaching for that aren't here? What would make this actually useful for your workflow?
