HTML Obfuscator

Just like applications you run on the computer, web pages also rely on structured lines of code to make it possible for you to enjoy the corresponding content. However, there are various tools to grab the code, even web browsers reveal it, so you might want it hidden, which is a task that HTML Obfuscator can help you accomplish.

A neat advantage is that you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make the application work, because portability allows it to be used even on other computers, directly from a USB flash drive. Another consequence of portability is that system registries remain intact, thus not affecting the health status of the target PC. You do need to make sure, however, that .NET Framework is among the installed components.

Upon launch, a compact main window shows up. It’s based on a classic window frame, that makes it incredibly easy even for inexperienced individuals to quickly get acquainted with the set of features. Two distinct panes are used to separate batch processing from single line conversion.

HTML Obfuscator, just as the name conveniently points out, only works with HTML files, or at least as far as input is concerned. This is because output format needs to be manually written down along with the name, otherwise a plain file is generated. However, you need to be sure of the format you want or need, since it can create all kinds of files, just based on the format.

There’s a built-in browse dialog you need to rely on in order to insert a file, because dragging it over the main window has no effect. What’s more, it can take a bit of time for processing to be done, depending on content consistency.

Apart from file conversion, HTML Obfuscator can also be used to obfuscate a single line of code, which needs to be manually written down. A different field instantly provides the result you can include in your projects. Sadly, obfuscation comes with no customization options, at least for selecting the elements of the code you want to protect.

All things considered, we can safely state that HTML Obfuscator is a practical little utility in case you need to quickly obfuscate a HTML document. Unfortunately, it’s fitted with a poor array of features, no options to select elements of interest, while the output format needs to be manually specified, creating a bit of confusion at first.
