Sanitize Logs Before
Sharing Them Anywhere
Pasting raw logs into ChatGPT or StackOverflow leaks production secrets. Scrub them first — free, in your browser, zero uploads.
Why Raw Logs Are a Security Risk
Developer logs capture everything — authentication tokens, database credentials, user emails, internal IPs. When you paste a raw traceback into ChatGPT, a StackOverflow question, or a Slack channel, those secrets go with it. Most leaked API keys are discovered not from server breaches but from a developer sharing a log.
The Log Sanitizer strips the sensitive parts in one pass before you share anything. It runs entirely in your browser — no server involved, no network request made. Your production logs stay on your machine.

Where Are You Pasting Logs?
| Destination | Risk if Unsanitized | Sanitize First? |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT / Claude | Secrets sent to AI provider's servers | ⚠️ Always |
| StackOverflow | Publicly indexed, visible to everyone | ⚠️ Always |
| GitHub Issues | Public repos indexed by scanners | ⚠️ Always |
| Slack / Teams | Workspace members, possible integrations | ⚠️ Recommended |
| Support Tickets | Third-party vendor access | ⚠️ Recommended |
| Internal team only | Low risk if truly internal | Optional |
FAQ
Is it safe to paste production logs here? +
Yes. All sanitization runs in your browser using JavaScript. Zero server uploads. Your logs never touch our servers or anyone else's.
Does this work for Django SECRET_KEY or Flask secrets? +
Yes — API key detection catches Django SECRET_KEY, Flask secret keys, and other long alphanumeric secrets. For framework-specific stack trace cleaning, also try our Python Log Cleaner.
Can I customize what gets removed? +
Yes — toggle the checkboxes in the tool header to enable/disable specific pattern types. Each toggle works independently in real-time as you type.
Is this GDPR / HIPAA compliant? +
Client-side sanitization removes PII before logs leave your infrastructure, which helps with GDPR and HIPAA obligations. However, full compliance requires proper data handling across your entire stack — consult your legal team for comprehensive guidance.
Does it handle multi-line logs and stack traces? +
Yes — the sanitizer processes the entire text block, including multi-line JSON payloads, stack traces, and structured log formats like logfmt or JSON logging.
