About these tools

These converters handle small but fiddly transformations: turning a CSV export into JSON for an API, converting JSON to YAML for a config file, encoding text or files to Base64, escaping HTML, or writing a number out in words for a cheque or invoice.

Most of them are pure text transformations that run entirely in your browser. The exception is the currency converter, which fetches published reference exchange rates from a third-party rates service each time you use it; its page explains what is sent and how current the rates are.

Typical uses

Examples of everyday tasks these tools are built for.

Developers and analysts

Converting a spreadsheet export to JSON, or a JSON response to CSV to open in a spreadsheet.

Billing and paperwork

Writing an amount in words for a cheque or invoice, or checking an approximate currency conversion.

Remote teams

Working out the local time of a meeting across time zones, including daylight-saving changes.

Frequently asked questions

Is my data sent to a server when I convert it?

Not for the text and data converters — they run in your browser. The currency converter downloads a table of exchange rates from an external rates API; your amounts and chosen currencies are not sent.

Can I convert large files?

The converters are designed for typical everyday sizes. Very large CSV or JSON files may be slow because all the work happens in your browser tab.

Are the currency rates suitable for transactions?

No. They are reference rates for estimates. Banks and payment providers apply their own rates and fees.
