User agent parser – Free Online Tool

Our free User Agent Parser reads any user agent string and tells you which browser, operating system, device and rendering engine it belongs to. It also detects your own user agent automatically.

What is User agent parser?

A user agent is a text string that every browser sends to websites with each request. It describes the browser name and version, the operating system and sometimes the device model.

Raw user agent strings are long and confusing — for example they often mention “Mozilla” even for Chrome. A parser breaks them into clear, readable details.

Frequently asked questions

Why do all user agents mention Mozilla?

For historical compatibility reasons, nearly all browsers include “Mozilla/5.0” at the start.

Can a user agent be faked?

Yes. Users and bots can change their user agent, so it should not be used for security decisions.

Is user agent the same as IP address?

No. The user agent describes software; the IP address identifies a network connection.
