Chrome Extension + Smart Clipboard: From Selection to Prefill

WoDeTool's differentiators vs generic tool sites: context-menu open, `?input=` prefill, and Smart Clipboard detection. Move JSON, Base64, and JWT into the right tool in one step.

By WGinit · July 16, 2026

Three entry points, one goal

Smart Clipboard (home): paste and get a tool suggestion. Chrome extension: select text on any page and open WoDeTool from the context menu. URL prefill: share /en/tools/json-formatter?input=... so teammates see the same payload.

All three cut the copy → bookmarks → new tab → paste loop so tools follow your workflow.

Daily habits that stick

While debugging APIs: select minified JSON → open JSON Formatter via the extension; spot a JWT → JWT Decoder; check expiry → Timestamp Converter. Save the chain as a pipeline when it repeats.

When sharing a repro: copy a ?input= link from the tool page (never put production secrets in a public URL). Keep sensitive payloads local.

Pair with pipelines

The extension handles the first jump; pipelines handle fixed multi-step jobs. Example: open Base64 Decoder from the extension, then run a saved Decode → JSON Format pipeline.

Install from the Chrome Web Store link in the footer or About page. Without the extension the site still works — you just lose the OS-level context menu.
