Encoder/Crypto Pipeline
Chains local encode, decode, JSON, text, and SHA-256 steps into reusable recipes.
Encoder/Crypto Pipeline
Combine local operations into a recipe chain – CyberChef-inspired, focused on fast web/dev workflows.
Recipe
Output
Local AI-style explanation
The recipe transforms the input without a decode step. JSON steps validate structure and will stop on malformed JSON. The final hash is one-way and cannot be reversed.
Guardrail: this explanation is generated locally from operation names only; input and output are not sent to an AI service.
Pipeline steps
Add at least one step.
Guide & best practices
Encoder Pipeline for chained encoding steps
Build recipes from multiple encoding/hash operations in a fixed order and process inputs in a single pass.
Typical use cases
Ideal for recurring encoding workflows, debugging nested encodings and sharing reproducible recipes.
How the Encoder Pipeline works
Add operations in the desired order; Balou applies them sequentially to the input locally and shows the result.
Encoding pipeline best practices
Mind the order (encoding before hashing), test with example data and do not enter real secrets.
Frequently asked questions
How do I build a pipeline (recipe)?
Add steps in order, e.g. text → Base64 → SHA-256, and apply them in a single pass.
Is data sent to a server?
No, processing runs locally in the browser; your inputs do not leave the page.
Does order matter?
Yes, each operation acts on the previous result – Base64 after hashing differs from the reverse.
Can I share recipes?
Yes, pipelines can be exported as a recipe or shared via link.
