What this site is
Delimiter.live is a collection of 115 single-purpose online utilities grouped into 6 categories: text tools, data conversion, developer tools, extraction tools, network and web tools, and encoding and security tools. Each one does a single job — count the words, convert the CSV, format the JSON, decode the token, look up the DNS record — and does it without an account, a trial or a paywall.
How your data is handled
Most of these tasks do not need a server at all, so most of these tools do not use one. Text, data conversion, developer, extraction and encoding tools run as JavaScript inside your browser tab. What you paste stays on your device: it is not transmitted, not logged and not stored, and closing the tab discards it.
A small number of tools genuinely cannot work that way. A browser cannot make a DNS query, cannot read another site's response headers, and has no bcrypt implementation. Those tools run on our server, and the IP lookup additionally passes the address you enter to a third-party geolocation provider. Every tool page carries a badge stating which of the three applies, and the privacy policy sets out exactly what each one sends where.
We do not make the blanket claim that everything happens in your browser, because it would not be true. The badge on each page is the accurate answer.
How the tools are built
The site is a Laravel application with a single tool registry that describes every tool once: its name, category, interface, content, metadata and structured data. Pages are rendered on the server so they work without JavaScript for reading, and the tool interface itself is progressively enhanced. Tool code is loaded per page rather than bundled together, so opening the word counter does not download the YAML parser.
What we do not do
- No account system, so there is nothing to sign up for and no password of ours to lose.
- No storing of tool input in a database.
- No social sharing scripts — the share buttons are plain links.
- No analytics until you say yes. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load only after you accept them in the cookie banner, and tool input is masked from session recordings.
- No tools that scan, probe or attack systems. Network tools read only information a host already publishes.
- No fabricated statistics, certifications or endorsements anywhere on this site.
How the site is funded
The site is free and carries ads served by Google AdSense. The site never sends what you type into a tool to the ad network or to analytics — browser-side tools transmit nothing at all. The privacy policy lists the cookies involved.
Editorial standards
The 53 guides and 10 reference tables are written and maintained by the Delimiter.live editorial team, and each page shows the date it was last reviewed.
- Every guide and reference is tied to the tools it describes, and the build fails if one points at a tool, guide or table that no longer exists.
- The sample input on every browser-side tool is run through that tool's engine on every build, so a sample that stops producing a result is caught before it ships.
- Tool pages state their limitations — the inputs a tool gets wrong or does not handle — alongside what it does.
- Where behaviour depends on a standard, the page names it: RFC 4180 for CSV, RFC 3986 for URL encoding, Vixie cron for crontab syntax.
Corrections and requests
If a tool gives a wrong answer, an explanation is inaccurate, or there is a utility you keep wishing were here, please get in touch. Bug reports that include the exact input you used are the most useful kind.
