User Agent String Decoder

Decode the browser and OS behind any User-Agent string.

User Agent decoder

About this tool

Every HTTP request your browser makes includes a User-Agent header that identifies the browser, its version, the underlying engine, the operating system, and sometimes the device type. The string is famously cryptic because of decades of compatibility hacks. This decoder parses any User-Agent string and tells you what's actually behind it: browser family and version, rendering engine, operating system name and version, device type if detectable, and whether it looks like a bot or automated client. Paste your own UA (we'll prefill it) or any UA you're curious about. All parsing happens in your browser, nothing is sent to any server.

Frequently asked questions

Browser UAs grew over decades of compatibility workarounds. Each browser added tokens like 'Mozilla/5.0' and 'AppleWebKit' to be detected as a compatible browser by old servers. The result is a long string where the actually meaningful parts are buried.
