About Text Tools
Text Tools focuses on everyday string and document-prep utilities: pretty-printing or validating JSON, counting words and reading time, and encoding or decoding Base64 and URL strings. Work stays in the editor session in your browser.
Built for developers debugging payloads, writers checking draft length, and anyone who needs a quick encode/decode without pasting sensitive text into an unknown site.
When to use which tool
- JSON Formatter — format, minify, or validate JSON (paste or .json upload up to 5 MB). Use when structure and syntax matter, not prose statistics.
- Word Counter — live word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts plus reading time and keyword density on plain text or .txt. Use for drafts and copy limits — not for PDF/Word binary uploads.
- Base64 Encoder/Decoder — move between UTF-8 text and Base64 (including URL-safe decode). Use for tokens, data URLs, or transport encoding — not for percent-encoding query strings.
- URL Encoder/Decoder — percent-encode or decode URL components and query values. Use for safe URL construction — not for Base64.
- Need tabular JSON↔CSV? That lives under Converters. Need hashes, JWT inspection, or regex? See Developer Utilities.
Common use cases
- Pretty-print an API response so you can spot a missing field before shipping a fix.
- Check whether a blog draft fits a 1,200-word brief and scan keyword density.
- Decode a Base64 blob from logs into readable UTF-8 text.
- Encode a search query or path segment so special characters survive in a URL.
Privacy & processing
Formatting, counting, and encoding run locally in your browser. ToolsArk does not upload editor contents to a server for these utilities. Closing the tab clears in-memory text unless you copy or download it yourself.
File uploads accepted by these tools (such as .json or .txt up to 5 MB) are read on-device for processing in the same way as pasted text.
Limitations
- Text uploads are capped around 5 MB; very large payloads may feel slow in the tab.
- Word Counter works on plain text / .txt — not direct PDF or Word document parsing.
- Base64 here is oriented toward text workflows, not bulk binary file conversion.
- JSON Formatter is for JSON syntax — it is not a full schema designer or API client.
Tips
- After formatting JSON you plan to spreadsheet, open JSON to CSV under Converters.
- For hashing or JWT payload inspection after you clean up a string, switch to Developer Utilities.
- Converters — JSON ↔ CSV
- Developer Utilities — hash, JWT, regex, and more
