About Braidbyte

Who runs Braidbyte

Braidbyte is run by Anoop Ismail as an independent side project. It is a small, self-funded website, not a company with investors, and it is built and maintained by one person.

What we offer

Braidbyte collects everyday utilities in one place: formatting and comparing JSON, converting CSV, decoding JWTs, encoding Base64 and URLs, generating UUIDs, and compressing images. Each tool does one job and shows clear messages when something is wrong, such as the line and column of a JSON syntax error.

You do not need an account to use any tool. The tools run in your browser, so the text, files and tokens you enter are processed on your own device rather than sent to our servers.

How we build the tools

• Each tool is tested with automated unit tests and browser tests before it is published.
• Tools use the keyboard, labelled controls and text messages, so they work with screen readers and do not rely on colour alone.
• Inputs are limited in size so a very large paste cannot freeze the page.
• Each tool page explains what the tool does, how to use it, and answers common questions.

How the site is funded

The tools are free and there are no paid plans. The site may show advertisements from Google AdSense. You can read how advertising and cookies work in our Privacy Policy.

Changes and updates

New tools and guides are added as they are finished, and the tool list on the homepage always shows what works today.
