User Agent Parser

Parse and analyze user agent strings to extract browser, OS, device type, and rendering engine information

Paste any user-agent string and instantly see the browser name and version, operating system, device type, and rendering engine. Useful for debugging request headers, analyzing access logs, and understanding what clients are hitting your servers.

User Agent Parser: a worked example

A bug only reproduces for one customer. Their support ticket includes a raw User-Agent string and you need to know exactly what browser and OS to test.

Raw User-Agent header

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 17_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.2 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1
User Agent Parser produces

Parsed components

Browser:       Safari 17.2
Engine:        WebKit 605.1.15
OS:            iOS 17.2
Device:        Apple iPhone (mobile)
Form factor:   Mobile
Bot:           No

The User-Agent is a single dense string that crams browser, engine, OS, and device into legacy "Mozilla/5.0 … like Gecko" tokens kept only for compatibility. The parser maps those tokens to structured fields so you can reproduce the exact environment, here, mobile Safari 17.2 on iOS, which has very different CSS and JS behaviour from Chrome on Android.

What is User Agent Parser?

Paste any user-agent string and instantly see the browser name and version, operating system, device type, and rendering engine. Useful for debugging request headers, analyzing access logs, and understanding what clients are hitting your servers.

How to use

  1. 1Your own user-agent is parsed automatically on load.
  2. 2Paste a different user-agent string to analyze it.
  3. 3Review the parsed browser, OS, device, and engine details.

Key features

  • Browser and version detection
  • Operating system identification
  • Device type classification (desktop, mobile, tablet, bot)
  • Rendering engine breakdown
  • Auto-detects your current user-agent

Common use cases

  • Debugging API requests

    Parse the User-Agent header from failing requests to identify client-specific issues.

  • Log analysis

    Decode user-agent strings from server logs to understand your traffic mix across browsers and devices.

  • Bot detection

    Identify crawlers, scrapers, and automated agents by examining their user-agent signatures.

Frequently asked questions

Why are user-agent strings so long and messy?

Decades of browser history led to each new browser appending compatibility tokens. Chrome's UA includes "Mozilla""AppleWebKit"and "Safari" for legacy reasons.

Are user-agent strings reliable for feature detection?

No. Prefer feature detection (e.g., checking if an API exists in the browser) over user-agent sniffing, which is fragile and easily spoofed.
