Do I need to install Ruff or add a config to use this?

No. It loads Ruff's official WebAssembly build from a CDN and runs the linter and formatter right in your browser — no pip install. Start with the default rules, pick a preset, or paste your own [tool.ruff] config.

Can Ruff automatically fix the issues it finds?

Many rules are auto-fixable, and this tool tags those diagnostics as 'fixable'. In your own project you would apply them with 'ruff check --fix'. Use Format mode here to instantly reformat code the way 'ruff format' does, with your chosen line length and quote style.

About Ruff Linter & Formatter

Ruff has become the de-facto standard for Python linting and formatting because it is written in Rust and runs 10–100× faster than the tools it replaces. A single tool covers what previously required Flake8 (and dozens of its plugins), isort, pyupgrade, autoflake, and the Black formatter.

This online version runs the official Ruff WebAssembly build directly in your browser — no installation required. Linting reports each issue with its rule code (for example F401 for an unused import or E701 for multiple statements on one line), its exact line and column, and whether Ruff can auto-fix it.

Switch to Format mode to reformat your code to a consistent style with configurable line length and quote preference, matching what ruff format would produce in your editor or CI. Choose a rule preset — from Ruff's default set to the full ALL ruleset — to control how strict the linting is.

For a deeper, interactive experience with a live editor, editable raw config, shareable links and AST / token / formatter-IR views, use the separate Ruff Playground. This tool stays focused on quick, one-click linting and formatting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ruff is an extremely fast Python linter and formatter written in Rust. It consolidates Flake8 (plus its plugin ecosystem), isort, pyupgrade, and Black into one tool that runs tens to hundreds of times faster, so you get the same checks and formatting with far less configuration and waiting.

Python Marshal Encryptor

Compile Python to version-locked marshaled bytecode with optional zlib or zstd compression and get a ready-to-run loader. Target Python 3.10–3.14. Runs 100% in your browser.

Python Marshal Decrypt

Reverse a marshal loader and recover readable Python source — base64-decode, decompress (zlib/zstd), unmarshal, decompile, plus disassembly and a downloadable .pyc. Runs 100% in your browser.

Python Deobfuscator

A general Python deobfuscator and obfuscation-strength checker. Reverse weak lambda/exec loaders (base64 + zlib/bz2/lzma, nested layers) to reveal the real source — decoding the payload without ever running it — and flag strongly-protected code that can't be trivially peeled. Paste or upload a .py.
