About Visitor Station
A small set of free, client-side tools for developers and anyone curious about how the web sees them.
What this site is
Visitor Station started as a way to answer one question — what does the internet see when I connect? — and grew into a handful of small utilities that developers reach for constantly: an IP lookup, a JSON formatter, a Unix timestamp converter, a URL / Base64 encoder and a password generator.
Why everything runs in the browser
There is no server side to these tools. Text you paste is parsed, formatted or encoded on your device and discarded when you close the tab. The only network request involved is the public IP lookup, which asks a public IP API to hand your own address back to you; the answer is not stored here. That means:
- Nothing you paste is uploaded — safe for API responses and real data.
- Results are instant, with no round-trip.
- The tools keep working after the page has loaded.
Tool list
- Device information — everything a web page can read about your device.
- IP address lookup — public IP, location, ISP, ASN, coordinates, time zone.
- JSON formatter — beautify, minify, validate, escape, download.
- Unix timestamp converter — seconds or milliseconds, local and UTC.
- URL / Base64 encoder — percent-encoding and Base64, both directions.
- Password generator — random passwords, UUIDs and random integers.
- Text tools — character, word and byte counts plus batch operations.
- Hash calculator — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512.
- Regex tester — live matches, capture groups and replacement preview.
- URL parser — components, editable query parameters, rebuild.
- Colour converter — HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK with contrast ratios.
- Format converter — CSV, JSON, YAML and XML in any direction.
Feedback
If a tool misbehaves or something is missing, feedback is welcome. This site is a pure utility: it provides the tools and asks for nothing in return.
