AST-based JavaScript obfuscator

Protect the code that makes your product valuable.

Nebula turns exposed JavaScript into a harder target for copying, tampering, and casual reverse engineering. With a layered protection strategy and a dedicated bytecode VM option, you get more than minification: you get a stronger line of defense around your intellectual property.

Dedicated bytecode VM Layered protection Production-ready output
Preserves runtime behavior Configurable protection depth Built for real deployments
Harder to copyMake valuable logic significantly less readable at first inspection.
More than a minifierCombine transformation, runtime defense, and optional VM protection.
Control when it runsAdd domain and expiration controls when distribution needs boundaries.
Ready for teamsRepeatable settings make protection easier to apply release after release.
The Nebula advantage

Put your most sensitive logic behind a stronger boundary.

The bytecode VM option is designed for the parts of your application you least want exposed. Instead of leaving critical routines in an immediately recognizable form, Nebula adds a dedicated protection layer that raises the effort required to understand and reproduce them.

01Protect what matters most. Use the VM layer where business rules, validation, pricing, or proprietary algorithms deserve extra resistance.
02Stack defenses instead of betting on one trick. Names, strings, flow, runtime checks, and licensing controls work together.
03Keep ownership of the final output. Configure the level of protection that fits your release, performance, and maintenance needs.
Why teams choose Nebula

Security is not just about hiding code. It is about protecting decisions.

When your frontend contains product rules, paid features, API choreography, or competitive know-how, readable source can become a shortcut for competitors and attackers. Nebula helps you turn that exposure into friction without asking you to rebuild your application.

You choose the protection profile, apply it as part of your release process, and ship an output that is harder to inspect, harder to modify, and more expensive to reproduce.

“The best protection is layered, deliberate, and aligned with the value of the code you are shipping.”

Protection you can explain to your team

Nebula gives you a clear security story: multiple independent obstacles, sensible controls, and an output designed for the reality of shipped JavaScript.

Many layers of protection

Rename identifiers

Variables, functions, and parameters are replaced with short, meaningless names throughout the tree.

Encrypt strings

String literals are encoded and decoded at runtime, so plain text never sits in the source.

Disguise numbers

Numeric literals are rewritten as hex values or small expressions that evaluate to the same result.

Flatten control flow

Linear logic is reshaped into a state-driven switch loop, hiding the original execution order.

Inject dead code

Unreachable branches and decoy logic are scattered through the output to confuse static analysis.

Bytecode VM pass

Selected logic is compiled into a small custom instruction set, run by an interpreter bundled into the output.

Minify

Whitespace, comments, and line breaks are stripped once every other pass is done, shrinking the final file.

Split strings

Each encrypted string is broken into chunks and reassembled at runtime, so no single value holds the full payload.

Shuffle string pool

The physical order of encrypted strings is randomized, breaking any assumption that index order matches usage order.

Shift string index

String accessor indices are offset by a random amount before lookup, decoupling the visible index from the real one.

Hex string index

String indices are passed as hexadecimal strings rather than plain numbers, adding another layer of noise to trace.

Wrap string calls

Random wrapper functions are scattered through the output, each forwarding to the real string decoder unpredictably.

Self-defense

A canary function detects if the output has been reformatted or beautified, and disrupts execution if tampering is found.

Disable console

Overrides console.log and friends at runtime, so debugging output stays silent in production.

Unicode-escape strings

Remaining string literals are written as \u escape sequences in the final output, hiding readable text at a glance.

And others

And other settings to protect your code.

Built for the code you actually ship

01 / PRODUCT LOGIC

Keep your advantage private

Protect pricing rules, feature gates, validation, and proprietary flows that live in the browser.

02 / DISTRIBUTED APPS

Raise the cost of tampering

Add friction for people trying to patch, reformat, or repurpose your production bundle.

03 / RELEASE TEAMS

Make protection repeatable

Use saved choices and a consistent workflow instead of relying on last-minute manual cleanup.

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste or upload your script

    Drop your source straight into the input editor, or upload a .js file from your machine.

  2. 02

    Choose your techniques

    Toggle any combination of the protection layers to match how aggressive you want the output to be.

  3. 03

    Copy or download the result

    Grab the obfuscated file straight from the output panel once the pipeline finishes.

Good to know

Does obfuscation change behavior?

No. Every pass preserves the exact runtime behavior of your script — only its readability changes.

Is there a daily limit?

Yes, each account has a daily run limit shown in the workspace. It resets at midnight UTC.

Do I need approval to use it?

New accounts start unauthorized. Sign up, then use the chat button (bottom-right, once signed in) to send your account ID and request access — it's the fastest way to reach support.

Is my code stored anywhere?

Your source is sent only to process the obfuscation request — the interface itself keeps nothing beyond your daily usage count.

Ship with more confidence.
