Stack Trace Beautifier

Paste a stack trace from any major language; get a clean, indented, easy-to-read version. Auto-detects JavaScript, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, and Rust traces. Strips common noise (timestamps, log prefixes, ANSI color codes).

How to use the Stack Trace Beautifier

Paste a stack trace. The tool detects the language by trace shape and produces a cleaner version. Filtering options de-emphasize lines from node_modules / site-packages / vendor — these are rarely where your bug is, but they fill up traces.

Cleaning up a stack trace

A stack trace copied from a terminal, a CI log, or an error tracker arrives wrapped in noise — timestamps, log-level prefixes, ANSI colour codes — and padded with frames from deep inside the runtime and third-party packages, so the two or three frames that actually point at your bug are buried.

This detects the language from the shape of the trace — JavaScript, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, or Rust — strips the surrounding log noise, and de-emphasises frames from node_modules, site-packages, and other vendor paths so your own code stands out. The result is an indented, readable trace you can scan in seconds.

Common use cases

  • Find your frame — surface application code among runtime noise.
  • Strip log prefixes — remove timestamps and ANSI codes from a copied trace.
  • Quiet the vendor — de-emphasise node_modules and site-packages frames.
  • Share a clean trace — paste a readable version into an issue.
  • Cross-language — handle JS, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, and Rust.

Frequently asked questions

Which languages are detected?

JavaScript, Python, Java, Ruby, Go, and Rust, from the shape of the trace.

Does it hide vendor frames entirely?

It de-emphasises them by default rather than deleting them, so context is kept while your code stands out.

Will it strip log noise?

Yes — timestamps, log-level prefixes, and ANSI colour codes are removed.

Does it upload my trace anywhere?

No — formatting happens entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
