What User Agent Parser does

User Agent Parser reads a browser's user agent string and breaks it into browser name and version, operating system, and device type, so you don't have to decode the string by hand. Paste any user agent โ€” or use your own, shown automatically โ€” to see exactly what it identifies.

Who should use it

  • Checking whether a request is coming from a mobile device or a desktop browser
  • Verifying your own browser's reported version after an update

Frequently asked questions

What does it detect from the string?
Browser name and version, operating system and version, and whether the device is desktop, mobile, or tablet.
Why do user agent strings look so cluttered and inconsistent?
Most browsers include legacy identifiers (like 'Mozilla/5.0') for backward compatibility, which is why raw user agent strings look messy even though they follow a consistent format.
Is it free to use?
Yes, completely free.
Is the string I paste sent anywhere?
No, parsing runs entirely in your browser's JavaScript.
Can a user agent string be faked?
Yes, it's self-reported by the client and can be spoofed, so this tool tells you what a string claims, not whether it's genuine.
