Everything you need to know about KaviForge browser-based developer tools.
Yes. Every tool on KaviForge runs 100% client-side in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your JSON payloads, JWT tokens, code snippets, and PDF files are never uploaded to any server, and no signup or account is required.
Yes. The JSON Formatter pretty prints, minify JSON / json minify, and runs JSON validation locally. The SQL formatter is a SQL beautifier for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and T-SQL. The Base64 decoder and Base64 encoder never upload your strings.
KaviForge includes 45 browser-based tools across 7 categories: JSON & Data Tools (JSON Formatter, JSON Diff, JSON to TypeScript/Go/Python Pydantic/Rust/SQL, CSV to JSON, JSON to CSV, JSON to XML, XML to JSON, YAML to JSON, JSON to YAML), Code Formatters (HTML, CSS, JS, SQL, XML, YAML, Live HTML/CSS Preview, Markdown Preview), Encoders & Decoders (Base64, Image to Base64, Base64 to Image, URL, JWT), Hash Generators (MD5, SHA-256, SHA-512, HMAC), Developer Utilities (UUID v4/v7, Regex Tester, Unix Timestamp, Cron Generator), PDF Tools (PDF Cropper, Delete PDF Pages, Insert Blank PDF Page, Add Image to PDF, PDF Page Manager), and QR/Barcode Generators (WiFi QR, WhatsApp QR, Barcode).
