Limits and constraints

What this tool does not silently solve for you.

  • The tool transforms data locally and does not verify the broader application context
  • Malformed payloads may still need manual review after decoding or formatting
Common issues

Fix the most frequent blockers quickly.

  • The transformed text is not what you expected. Review the pasted input for extra spaces, punctuation, or formatting that should be removed first.
