JavaScript Code Obfuscator: Secure Your Code From Theft & Reverse Engineering

JavaScript obfuscation uses several advanced techniques to protect your code:

• Variable Renaming - Replaces meaningful variable names with random identifiers
• String Encryption - Encrypts strings to hide sensitive information
• Control Flow Flattening - Restructures your code's logic flow
• Dead Code Injection - Adds misleading code snippets

Here's an example of how obfuscation transforms your code:

// Original Code
function calculateTotal(price, tax) {
    return price * (1 + tax);
}

// Obfuscated Code
var _0x1a2b=['return\x20a*(1+b);'];(function(_0x2c4d,_0x3e5f){var _0x4g6h=function(_0x5i7j){while(--_0x5i7j){_0x2c4d['push'](_0x2c4d['shift']());}};_0x4g6h(++_0x3e5f);}(_0x1a2b,0x1a3));var _0x6k8l=function(_0x7m9n,_0x8o0p){_0x7m9n=_0x7m9n-0x0;var _0x9q1r=_0x1a2b[_0x7m9n];return _0x9q1r;};function _0xas2fc(_0xbt3fd,_0xcu4ge){return Function(_0x6k8l('0x0'))()(_0xbt3fd,_0xcu4ge)}

The difference is clear - while the original code is easy to understand, the obfuscated version provides significant protection against reverse engineering.

While no obfuscation is 100% secure against a determined attacker with unlimited resources, our professional-grade obfuscation creates significant barriers to reverse engineering.

Our tool provides multiple security layers:

With our High Obfuscation setting, your code becomes extremely difficult to analyze, requiring significant time and specialized expertise to decode, effectively deterring all but the most dedicated adversaries.

JavaScript Obfuscator Pro 2025 offers multiple obfuscation levels to balance security and performance. The performance impact varies depending on the obfuscation techniques you enable:

Techniques with minimal performance impact include:

• Identifier renaming
• String array (without additional transformations)
• Dead code injection
• Variable concealing

Techniques with moderate to high performance impact include:

• Control flow flattening (highest impact)
• String array with transformations
• Debug protection with interval checks
• Multiple nested object transformations

Our analyzer tool provides specific performance estimates based on your selected options and code structure.

Domain locking restricts your obfuscated JavaScript to run only on specified domains, making your code unusable if someone tries to copy it to another website.

Domain locking is particularly valuable for:

• Premium WordPress themes/plugins - Prevent unauthorized distribution
• SaaS applications - Ensure your front-end code only works with your backend
• Commercial JavaScript libraries - Prevent usage without proper licensing
• Client-specific implementations - Restrict custom code to a client's domain

Our implementation includes advanced checks to prevent simple bypass methods and supports both exact domain matching and subdomain wildcard matching.

While minification is primarily for performance optimization, obfuscation focuses on code protection. Our tool actually provides both benefits - applying minification techniques before applying security transformations.

Yes, our obfuscated JavaScript is fully compatible with all modern browsers. Our tool maintains ECMAScript standards compliance while applying protection techniques.

* Internet Explorer 11 has limited compatibility with certain advanced obfuscation features like control flow flattening. Our tool provides compatibility warnings when selecting options that may affect older browsers.

For maximum compatibility across all browsers including legacy systems, we recommend using the "Low" or "Medium" obfuscation preset. Our analysis tool automatically calculates a browser compatibility score based on your selected options.

Yes, our tool offers threshold settings for most protection features that let you control what percentage of your code is affected.

// Adjust in the UI:
controlFlowFlatteningThreshold: 0.5  // Only 50% of functions affected

// Critical proprietary algorithm - heavy protection
const obfuscatedCriticalModule = "...heavily obfuscated code...";

// Performance-sensitive code - lighter protection
const obfuscatedPerformanceModule = "...lightly obfuscated code...";

// Excluded names setting:
// "jQuery,$,angular,publicFunction"

This selective approach allows you to heavily protect your proprietary algorithms and business logic while keeping performance-critical sections like animation loops or rendering functions more efficient.

Code expiration is highly effective for creating time-limited demos, trials, or seasonal features in your JavaScript applications.

Our implementation uses secure verification methods to prevent simple clock-tampering bypass attempts:

• Obfuscated timestamp verification
• Multiple verification points
• Decoy date checks
• Optional server-side verification

Note that like all client-side protections, a determined attacker with sufficient time and expertise could potentially bypass expiration checks. For mission-critical applications, we recommend combining client-side expiration with server-side verification.

Troubleshooting obfuscated code can be challenging due to its transformed nature. Here's our recommended approach:

Yes, JavaScript Obfuscator Pro integrates seamlessly with popular build systems and workflows through our API and plugins.

// Install: npm install --save-dev webpack-obfuscator

// webpack.config.js
const WebpackObfuscator = require('webpack-obfuscator');

module.exports = {
  // ... your config
  plugins: [
    new WebpackObfuscator({
      rotateStringArray: true,
      stringArray: true,
      stringArrayThreshold: 0.75,
      // ... other options
    })
  ]
}

// Install: npm install --save-dev gulp-javascript-obfuscator

const gulp = require('gulp');
const obfuscator = require('gulp-javascript-obfuscator');

gulp.task('obfuscate', function() {
  return gulp.src('./src/*.js')
    .pipe(obfuscator({
      controlFlowFlattening: true,
      controlFlowFlatteningThreshold: 0.5,
      // ... other options
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

// Install: npm install -g javascript-obfuscator

// Basic usage
javascript-obfuscator input.js --output output.js

// With options
javascript-obfuscator input.js --output output.js \
  --string-array-threshold 0.75 \
  --string-array-encoding base64 \
  --control-flow-flattening true

// Install: npm install --save javascript-obfuscator

const JavaScriptObfuscator = require('javascript-obfuscator');

const code = `// Your code here`;
const obfuscationResult = JavaScriptObfuscator.obfuscate(code, {
  compact: true,
  controlFlowFlattening: true,
  controlFlowFlatteningThreshold: 0.5,
  deadCodeInjection: true,
  deadCodeInjectionThreshold: 0.3,
  // ... other options
});

const obfuscatedCode = obfuscationResult.getObfuscatedCode();

Our obfuscation settings can be exported from the UI and then used in your automated build process. This allows you to fine-tune options visually and then implement them in your CI/CD pipeline.
