# PasteKit > PasteKit is a free, privacy-first online formatter, validator and converter for developers: JSON, YAML, XML, SQL, CSV, code and 50+ more formats, processed entirely in the browser so nothing you paste is uploaded. PasteKit (https://pastekit.dev) is a free web app for developers that pretty-prints, validates, minifies and converts structured data and code. Key facts: - Free, with no sign-up, no account and no usage limits beyond browser memory. - Private by design: everything runs in the browser (a Web Worker). Nothing pasted is uploaded or stored on a server; a published Content Security Policy blocks the page from sending input anywhere. Share links keep content after the "#", which browsers never send to servers. - 58 formats, 48 conversions and 16 dedicated JSON tools, plus validators, minifiers, SQL dialect pages, guides and error explainers. - Uses the same formatters developers run locally, compiled to WebAssembly where needed: Lossless streaming JSON parser and printer, Prettier (json5 / jsonc), yaml (eemeli) — YAML 1.2 and 1.1, Built-in XML tokenizer and printer (DTD entities never expanded), Papa Parse, taplo for layout, sql-formatter, Prettier, Lossless line-by-line JSON parser, Built-in INI parser and printer, Built-in .properties parser and printer, Built-in dotenv parser and printer, dprint-plugin-dockerfile, Built-in nginx config printer and others. - Errors point to the exact line and column with a plain-English explanation and a fix; big numbers keep every digit. - Works offline after the first visit (installable web app); available in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, German and Indonesian. - Also offers a browser extension, a bookmarklet and "Open in PasteKit" links (https://pastekit.dev/integrations).
