JavaScript Obfuscator transforms readable JavaScript source code into an obfuscated and unintelligible form, preventing reverse engineering, tampering, and intellectual property theft while preserving full functionality and compatibility with the latest ECMAScript versions. It includes powerful features such as minification and compression for reduced file size and faster load times, dead code insertion to confuse static analysis, and domain- or IP-based locking to disable code execution outside authorized environments. The tool provides GUI-driven desktop batch processing that allows users to protect JavaScript embedded in HTML, PHP, JSP, or similar files with just a few clicks, and supports keeping initial comments or inserting custom headers into output files. Advanced controls let you exclude certain names from obfuscation and ensure consistent symbol renaming across multiple files.
