About What is My IP
What is My IP is a high-performance web utility built to instantly see your current public IP address, ISP provider, geographic location, and browser details. Free, real-time detection with no data stored instantly and securely. Because it is designed with a local-first architecture, all processing occurs directly in your browser's memory using client-side JavaScript. This ensures that your files, code, or private text inputs are never uploaded to any external server or tracked by third-party analytics.
Whether you are formatting source code, cleaning text files, converting file structures, or running diagnostics, running these processes locally in your browser memory sandbox eliminates network latency and protects your data privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can this tool see my private local IP address?
No. This tool only detects your public IP address — the address your router broadcasts to the internet. Your private local IP (the one assigned by your router, e.g., 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) is not visible to external servers and cannot be detected by this tool.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses written as four groups of numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1), supporting about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses written in hexadecimal groups (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334), supporting a virtually unlimited number of addresses. IPv6 was developed to replace IPv4 as the internet ran out of available addresses.
Is my IP address revealed to websites I visit?
Yes. Every website you visit can see your public IP address — it is required for the server to know where to send the web page back to. Your IP also reveals your approximate geographic location (city/region level) and your Internet Service Provider (ISP). To mask your IP, use a VPN, Tor, or a privacy proxy.
Does Online Text Tools store my IP address?
The IP detection is performed by your browser making a request to a public geolocation API (ipapi.co). Online Text Tools does not log, store, or process your IP address on our servers. The result you see is fetched directly by your browser and displayed locally.
