Regex Tester & Builder
Test regex live with plain-English explanations
Regex Tester & Builder highlights every match inline as you type, lists each match with its capture groups below, and scans your pattern for common regex tokens to explain what each one does in plain English. Invalid patterns show the real JavaScript SyntaxError instead of crashing, making it a fast, no-install companion for writing and debugging regular expressions.
