About

Developer tools that stay out of your way.

BigForgeKit is a growing collection of free browser-based utilities for everyday development tasks.

What is BigForgeKit?

BigForgeKit brings formatting, conversion, inspection, generation and validation tools together in one place. It is built for developers who need to solve small technical problems quickly without installing another application.

The catalogue includes tools for JSON, YAML, XML, SQL, regular expressions, JWTs, hashes, URLs, timestamps, colors, HTTP references and more.

Our principles

Useful

Focused utilities for common development, data, security and web tasks.

Privacy-first

Tool inputs are designed to be processed locally inside your browser.

No signup

Open a tool and start using it without creating an account.

Developer-focused

Clear interfaces, practical defaults and copy-ready results.

Local processing

Most BigForgeKit tools perform their work directly in your browser. Text, source code, credentials and files entered into those tools are not intentionally sent to BigForgeKit application servers for processing.

  • No account is required.
  • Tool inputs are not intentionally stored.
  • Preferences such as theme or favourites may remain in your browser.
  • The catalogue is continuously expanded and improved.

Help improve BigForgeKit

Bug reports, suggestions and feedback are welcome. They help determine which tools should be improved or added next.
