Frequently asked questions

How much text can I put in a URL?+

Practically about 2,000 characters for maximum compatibility with old browsers and proxies, and up to ~32,000 in modern browsers. Repetitive JSON often compresses 60–80%, so a lot of state fits after deflation.

Is the data in the link private?+

A URL hash (the part after #) is never sent to the server by the browser, so state shared this way stays on the client. The token is compressed, not encrypted — do not use it for secrets.

Is it free to use?+

Yes — completely free with no sign-up, no account and no usage limits. There is no paywall, so you can encode, decode and convert as much as you like.

Is my data private and secure?+

Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript — your input is never uploaded to a server, stored or logged. Once the page has loaded you can use it offline, which makes it safe for tokens, keys and confidential data.
