Text & Formatting questions
JSON Formatter: Does formatting change my data?
No. Formatting changes whitespace only. Minifying also preserves the parsed values.
JSON Formatter: Is my JSON uploaded?
No. Formatting and validation run in your browser.
Case Converter: Why are some brand names changed incorrectly?
Automated rules lack a complete dictionary of intentional capitalization.
Case Converter: Is title case universal?
No. Publications and languages use different title-capitalization rules.
XML Formatter: Does formatting validate an XSD?
No. Structural well-formedness and schema validation are separate checks.
XML Formatter: Can indentation alter XML?
For data-centric XML it is often insignificant, but mixed content and whitespace-preserving rules need care.
Word Counter: How are reading and speaking time calculated?
Reading time is words divided by 225; speaking time is words divided by 130. Non-empty results round up to a whole minute. These are rough editing estimates.
Word Counter: Is my text uploaded?
Typing and pasting stay in the page. Load from File uploads the selected document for text extraction.
Word Counter: What separates paragraphs?
One or more blank lines. A single line break changes line count without necessarily starting a new paragraph.
Replace Text: What is the difference between text and regex mode?
Text mode treats characters literally; regex mode interprets a pattern language.
Replace Text: Can replacement be undone?
Keep the original or use the interface reset before leaving; downloaded or copied output should be reviewed separately.
Random Word Generator: Are generated words equally likely?
That depends on the source list and selection method; filtering also changes the available pool.
Random Word Generator: Can these words be used as passwords?
Not by themselves. Secure passphrases require a cryptographically random process and sufficient entropy.
Random Number Generator: Can results repeat?
Yes unless unique-results mode is enabled and the range can support the requested count.
Random Number Generator: Is this suitable for cryptographic keys?
Use a dedicated cryptographic key generator and reviewed platform API for security credentials.
Compare Text: Is my text sent to a server?
No. The comparison and report download are generated in the browser.
Compare Text: Can I compare PDFs or Word files?
This tool accepts pasted plain text. Extract or copy the text first; formatting is not compared.
CSS Formatter: Will formatting change the design?
A formatter should preserve token order, but always test important styles after transformation.
CSS Formatter: Does valid CSS guarantee a correct page?
No. The cascade can be valid while producing an unintended layout.
CSV ↔ JSON Converter: Can I convert nested JSON?
Flatten nested objects and arrays first. This converter accepts flat records only.
CSV ↔ JSON Converter: Why does my CSV fail?
Check the separator, header names, field count and whether embedded quotes are doubled inside a quoted field.
Remove Duplicate Lines: Does this change capitalization?
No. Case-insensitive matching keeps the first original line exactly as entered.
Remove Duplicate Lines: Can I undo changes?
The original input remains in the left field until you edit it or choose Clear. Keep a source copy if you need to return later.
JavaScript Formatter: Does formatting deobfuscate code?
It improves layout but does not restore meaningful names or reverse deliberate obfuscation.
JavaScript Formatter: Can a formatter find every syntax error?
A parser can identify many syntax problems, but not logical or runtime errors.
SQL Formatter: Does formatting optimize a query?
No. Optimization requires schema statistics, indexes, an execution plan, and workload context.
SQL Formatter: Can the tool validate table names?
No. It has no connection to your database schema.
