Paste any regular expression — get it broken down in plain English.
Each part of your regex is color-coded and explained: anchors, groups, lookaheads, character classes, quantifiers, escape sequences, and flags. No more guessing what ^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d).{8,}$ means.
- Color-coded token highlighting
- Plain English explanation for every token
- Flag descriptions (g, i, m, s, u, y)
- Built-in examples: email, URL, password, date, hex color
- Instant validation with error messages
