Common questions

Does Regex Tester send my input to a server?

No. Processing runs in a browser worker. Files are read locally and downloads are created on your device.

What if the result is empty or an error appears?

Check the input format and options. A filter or extraction may legitimately return no matches. Invalid formats show an explanation, and expensive operations stop after five seconds so you can revise the input.
