⚠️
Important
Only obfuscate the code that belongs to you.
It is not recommended to obfuscate vendor scripts and polyfills, since the obfuscated code is 15-80% slower (depends on options) and the files are significantly larger.
Installation
Using Yarn or NPM
Install the package with Yarn or NPM and add it to your dependencies or devDependencies:
$ yarn add --dev javascript-obfuscator
or
$ npm install --save-dev javascript-obfuscator

obfuscate(sourceCode, options)
Returns ObfuscationResult object which contains two public methods:
getObfuscatedCode()- returnsstringwith obfuscated code;getSourceMap()- ifsourceMapoption is enabled - returnsstringwith source map or an empty string ifsourceMapModeoption is set asinline.
Calling toString() for ObfuscationResult object will return string with obfuscated code.
Method takes two parameters, sourceCode and options – the source code and the options respectively:
sourceCode(string, default:null) – any valid source code, passed as a string;options(Object, default:null) – an object with options.
For available options, see options.
obfuscateMultiple(sourceCodesObject, options)
Accepts sourceCodesObject that is a map which keys are identifiers of source codes and values are source codes:
{
foo: 'var foo = 1;',
bar: 'var bar = 2;'
}
Returns a map object which keys are identifiers of source codes and values are ObfuscationResult objects.
getOptionsByPreset(optionsPreset)
Returns an options object for the passed options preset name.
CLI usage
See CLI options.
Obfuscate single file
Usage:
javascript-obfuscator input_file_name.js [options]
javascript-obfuscator input_file_name.js --output output_file_name.js [options]
javascript-obfuscator input_file_name.js --output output_folder_name [options]
javascript-obfuscator input_folder_name --output output_folder_name [options]
Obfuscation of single input file with .js extension.
If the destination path is not specified with the --output option, the obfuscated file will be saved into the input file directory, with INPUT_FILE_NAME-obfuscated.js name.
Some examples:
javascript-obfuscator samples/sample.js --compact true --self-defending false
// creates a new file samples/sample-obfuscated.js
javascript-obfuscator samples/sample.js --output output/output.js --compact true --self-defending false
// creates a new file output/output.js
Obfuscate directory recursively
Usage:
javascript-obfuscator ./dist [options]
// creates a new obfuscated files under `./dist` directory near the input files with `obfuscated` postfix
javascript-obfuscator ./dist --output ./dist/obfuscated [options]
// creates a folder structure with obfuscated files under `./dist/obfuscated` path
Obfuscation of all .js files under input directory. If this directory contains already obfuscated files with -obfuscated postfix - these files will ignored.
Obfuscated files will saved into the input directory under INPUT_FILE_NAME-obfuscated.js name.
Conditional comments
You can disable and enable obfuscation for specific parts of the code by adding following comments:
- disable:
// javascript-obfuscator:disableor/* javascript-obfuscator:disable */; - enable:
// javascript-obfuscator:enableor/* javascript-obfuscator:enable */.
Example:
// input
var foo = 1;
// javascript-obfuscator:disable
var bar = 2;
// output
var _0xabc123 = 0x1;
var bar = 2;
Conditional comments affect only direct transformations of AST-tree nodes. All child transformations still will be applied to the AST-tree nodes.
For example:
- Obfuscation of the variable's name at its declaration is called direct transformation;
- Obfuscation of the variable's name beyond its declaration is called child transformation.
Kind of variables
Kind of variables of inserted nodes will auto-detected, based on most prevailing kind of variables of source code.
Conflicts of identifier names between different files
During obfuscation of the different files, the same names can be generated for the global identifiers between these files. To prevent this set the unique prefix for all global identifiers for each obfuscated file with identifiersPrefix option.
When using CLI this prefix will be added automatically.
Antiviruses false positive virus alerts
Some input source code that will obfuscated with some obfuscation options can trigger false positive alerts in a few antiviruses. If you will get this false positive triggers, try to play with obfuscation options.
- Try to change
stringArrayEncodingoption value betweenrc4andbase64values or disable it completely; - Try to change
identifierNamesGeneratoroption value fromhexadecimalonmangled; - Try to disable
selfDefending.
If this wont help - attach your source code and describe your obfuscation options here: https://github.com/javascript-obfuscator/javascript-obfuscator/issues/51

compact
Type: boolean Default: true
Compact code output on one line.
config
Type: string Default: ``
Name of JS/JSON config file which contains obfuscator options. These will be overridden by options passed directly to CLI
controlFlowFlattening
Type: boolean Default: false
⚠️
This option greatly affects the performance up to 1.5x slower runtime speed. Use controlFlowFlatteningThreshold to set percentage of nodes that will affected by control flow flattening.
Enables code control flow flattening. Control flow flattening is a structure transformation of the source code that hinders program comprehension.
Example:
// input
(function(){
function foo () {
return function () {
var sum = 1 + 2;
console.log(1);
console.log(2);
console.log(3);
console.log(4);
console.log(5);
console.log(6);
}
}
foo()();
})();
// output
(function () {
function _0x3bfc5c() {
return function () {
var _0x3260a5 = {
'WtABe': '4|0|6|5|3|2|1',
'GokKo': function _0xf87260(_0x427a8e, _0x43354c) {
return _0x427a8e + _0x43354c;
}
};
var _0x1ad4d6 = _0x3260a5['WtABe']['split']('|'), _0x1a7b12 = 0x0;
while (!![]) {
switch (_0x1ad4d6[_0x1a7b12++]) {
case '0':
console['log'](0x1);
continue;
case '1':
console['log'](0x6);
continue;
case '2':
console['log'](0x5);
continue;
case '3':

continue;
case '5':
console['log'](0x3);
continue;
case '6':
console['log'](0x2);
continue;
}
break;
}
};
}
_0x3bfc5c()();
}());
controlFlowFlatteningThreshold
Type: number Default: 0.75 Min: 0 Max: 1
The probability that the controlFlowFlattening transformation will be applied to any given node.
This setting is especially useful for large code size because large amounts of control flow transformations can slow down your code and increase code size.
controlFlowFlatteningThreshold: 0 equals to controlFlowFlattening: false.
deadCodeInjection
Type: boolean Default: false
⚠️
Dramatically increases size of obfuscated code (up to 200%), use only if size of obfuscated code doesn't matter. Use deadCodeInjectionThreshold to set percentage of nodes that will affected by dead code injection.
⚠️
This option forcibly enables stringArray option.
With this option, random blocks of dead code will be added to the obfuscated code.
Example:
// input
(function(){
if (true) {
var foo = function () {
console.log('abc');
console.log('cde');
console.log('efg');
console.log('hij');
};
var bar = function () {

};
var baz = function () {
console.log('tuv');
console.log('wxy');
console.log('z');
};
foo();
bar();
baz();
}

deadCodeInjectionThreshold
Type: number Default: 0.4 Min: 0 Max: 1
Allows to set percentage of nodes that will affected by deadCodeInjection.
debugProtection
Type: boolean Default: false
⚠️
Can freeze your browser if you open the Developer Tools.
This option makes it almost impossible to use the debugger function of the Developer Tools (both on WebKit-based and Mozilla Firefox).
debugProtectionInterval
Type: boolean Default: false
⚠️
Can freeze your browser! Use at own risk.
If checked, an interval is used to force the debug mode on the Console tab, making it harder to use other features of the Developer Tools. Works if debugProtection is enabled.
disableConsoleOutput
Type: boolean Default: false
Disables the use of console.log, console.info, console.error, console.warn, console.debug, console.exception and console.trace by replacing them with empty functions. This makes the use of the debugger harder.
domainLock
Type: string[] Default: []
⚠️
This option does not work with target: 'node'
Allows to run the obfuscated source code only on specific domains and/or sub-domains. This makes really hard for someone to just copy and paste your source code and run it elsewhere.
Multiple domains and sub-domains
It's possible to lock your code to more than one domain or sub-domain. For instance, to lock it so the code only runs on www.example.com add www.example.com. To make it work on the root domain including any sub-domains (example.com, sub.example.com), use .example.com.
exclude
Type: string[] Default: []
A file names or globs which indicates files to exclude from obfuscation.
forceTransformStrings
Type: string[] Default: []
Enables force transformation of string literals, which being matched by passed RegExp patterns.
⚠️
This option affects only strings that shouldn't be transformed by stringArrayThreshold (or possible other thresholds in the future)
The option has a priority over reservedStrings option but hasn't a priority over conditional comments.
Example:
{
forceTransformStrings: [
'some-important-value',
'some-string_\d'
]
}
identifierNamesGenerator
Type: string Default: hexadecimal
Sets identifier names generator.
Available values:
dictionary: identifier names fromidentifiersDictionarylisthexadecimal: identifier names like_0xabc123mangled: short identifier names likea,b,cmangled-shuffled: same asmangledbut with shuffled alphabet
identifiersDictionary
Type: string[] Default: []
Sets identifiers dictionary for identifierNamesGenerator: dictionary option. Each identifier from the dictionary will be used in a few variants with a different casing of each character. Thus, the number of identifiers in the dictionary should depend on the identifiers amount at original source code.
identifiersPrefix
Type: string Default: ''
Sets prefix for all global identifiers.
Use this option when you want to obfuscate multiple files. This option helps to avoid conflicts between global identifiers of these files. Prefix should be different for every file.
ignoreRequireImports
Type: boolean Default: false
Prevents obfuscation of require imports. Could be helpful in some cases when for some reason runtime environment requires these imports with static strings only.
inputFileName
Type: string Default: ''
Allows to set name of the input file with source code. This name will be used internally for source map generation.
log
Type: boolean Default: false
Enables logging of the information to the console.
numbersToExpressions
Type: boolean Default: false
Enables numbers conversion to expressions
Example:
// input
const foo = 1234;
// output
const foo=-0xd93+-0x10b4+0x41*0x67+0x84e*0x3+-0xff8;
optionsPreset
Type: string Default: default
Allows to set options preset.
Available values:
default;low-obfuscation;medium-obfuscation;high-obfuscation.
All addition options will be merged with selected options preset.
renameGlobals
Type: boolean Default: false
⚠️
this option can break your code. Enable it only if you know what it does!
Enables obfuscation of global variable and function names with declaration.
renameProperties
Type: boolean Default: false
⚠️
this option WILL break your code in most cases. Enable it only if you know what it does!
Enables renaming of property names. All built-in DOM properties and properties in core JavaScript classes will be ignored.
To set format of renamed property names use identifierNamesGenerator option.
To control which properties will be renamed use reservedNames option.
Example:
// input
(function () {
const foo = {
prop1: 1,
prop2: 2,
calc: function () {
return this.prop1 + this.prop2;
}
};
console.log(foo.calc());
})();
// output
(function () {
const _0x46529b = {
'_0x10cec7': 0x1,
'_0xc1c0ca': 0x2,
'_0x4b961d': function () {
return this['_0x10cec7'] + this['_0xc1c0ca'];
}
};
console['log'](_0x46529b['_0x4b961d']());
}());
reservedNames
Type: string[] Default: []
Disables obfuscation and generation of identifiers, which being matched by passed RegExp patterns.
Example:
{
reservedNames: [
'^someVariable',
'functionParameter_\d'
]
}
reservedStrings
Type: string[] Default: []
Disables transformation of string literals, which being matched by passed RegExp patterns.
Example:
{
reservedStrings: [
'react-native',
'\.\/src\/test',
'some-string_\d'
]
}
rotateStringArray
Type: boolean Default: true
⚠️
stringArray must be enabled
Shift the stringArray array by a fixed and random (generated at the code obfuscation) places. This makes it harder to match the order of the removed strings to their original place.
seed
Type: string|number Default: 0
This option sets seed for random generator. This is useful for creating repeatable results.
If seed is 0 - random generator will work without seed.
selfDefending
Type: boolean Default: false
⚠️
Don't change obfuscated code in any way after obfuscation with this option, because any change like uglifying of code can trigger self defending and code wont work anymore!
⚠️
This option forcibly sets compact value to true
This option makes the output code resilient against formatting and variable renaming. If one tries to use a JavaScript beautifier on the obfuscated code, the code won't work anymore, making it harder to understand and modify it.
shuffleStringArray
Type: boolean Default: true
⚠️
stringArray must be enabled
Randomly shuffles the stringArray array items.
simplify
Type: boolean Default: true
Enables additional code obfuscation through simplification.
⚠️
in future releases obfuscation of boolean literals (true => !![]) will be moved under this option.
Example:
// input
if (condition1) {
const foo = 1;
const bar = 2;
console.log(foo);
return bar;
} else if (condition2) {
console.log(1);
console.log(2);
console.log(3);
return 4;
} else {
return 5;
}
// output
if (condition1) {
const foo = 0x1, bar = 0x2;
return console['log'](foo), bar;
} else
return condition2 ? (console['log'](0x1), console['log'](0x2), console['log'](0x3), 0x4) : 0x5;
sourceMap
Type: boolean Default: false
Enables source map generation for obfuscated code.
Source maps can be useful to help you debug your obfuscated JavaScript source code. If you want or need to debug in production, you can upload the separate source map file to a secret location and then point your browser there.
sourceMapBaseUrl
Type: string Default: ``
Sets base url to the source map import url when sourceMapMode: 'separate'.
CLI example:
javascript-obfuscator input.js --output out.js --source-map true --source-map-base-url 'http://localhost:9000'
Result:
//# sourceMappingURL=http://localhost:9000/out.js.map
sourceMapFileName
Type: string Default: ``
Sets file name for output source map when sourceMapMode: 'separate'.
CLI example:
javascript-obfuscator input.js --output out.js --source-map true --source-map-base-url 'http://localhost:9000' --source-map-file-name example
Result:
//# sourceMappingURL=http://localhost:9000/example.js.map
sourceMapMode
Type: string Default: separate
Specifies source map generation mode:
inline- add source map at the end of each .js files;separate- generates corresponding '.map' file with source map. In case you run obfuscator through CLI - adds link to source map file to the end of file with obfuscated code//# sourceMappingUrl=file.js.map.
splitStrings
Type: boolean Default: false
Splits literal strings into chunks with length of splitStringsChunkLength option value.
Example:
// input
(function(){
var test = 'abcdefg';
})();
// output
(function(){
var _0x5a21 = 'ab' + 'cd' + 'ef' + 'g';
})();
splitStringsChunkLength
Type: number Default: 10
Sets chunk length of splitStrings option.
stringArray
Type: boolean Default: true
Removes string literals and place them in a special array. For instance, the string "Hello World" in var m = "Hello World"; will be replaced with something like var m = _0x12c456[0x1];
stringArrayEncoding
Type: string[] Default: []
⚠️
stringArray option must be enabled
This option can slow down your script.
Encode all string literals of the stringArray using base64 or rc4 and inserts a special code that used to decode it back at runtime.
Each stringArray value will be encoded by the randomly picked encoding from the passed list. This makes possible to use multiple encodings.
Available values:
'none'(boolean): doesn't encodestringArrayvalue'base64'(string): encodesstringArrayvalue usingbase64'rc4'(string): encodesstringArrayvalue usingrc4. About 30-50% slower thanbase64, but more harder to get initial values. It's recommended to disableunicodeEscapeSequenceoption when usingrc4encoding to prevent very large size of obfuscated code.
For example with the following option values some stringArray value won't be encoded, and some values will be encoded with base64 and rc4 encoding:
stringArrayEncoding: [
'none',
'base64',
'rc4'
]
stringArrayIndexesType
Type: string[] Default: ['hexadecimal-number']
⚠️
stringArray option must be enabled
Allows to control the type of string array call indexes.
Each stringArray call index will be transformed by the randomly picked type from the passed list. This makes possible to use multiple types.
Available values:
'hexadecimal-number'(default): transforms string array call indexes as hexadecimal numbers'hexadecimal-numeric-string': transforms string array call indexes as hexadecimal numeric string
Before 2.9.0 release javascript-obfuscator transformed all string array call indexes with hexadecimal-numeric-string type. This makes some manual deobfuscation slightly harder but it allows easy detection of these calls by automatic deobfuscators.
The new hexadecimal-number type approaches to make harder auto-detect of string array call patterns in the code.
More types will be added in the future.
stringArrayIndexShift
Type: boolean Default: true
⚠️
stringArray option must be enabled
Enables additional index shift for all string array calls
stringArrayWrappersCount
Type: number Default: 1
⚠️
stringArray option must be enabled
Sets the count of wrappers for the string array inside each root or function scope. The actual count of wrappers inside each scope is limited by a count of literal nodes within this scope.
Example:
// Input
const foo = 'foo';
const bar = 'bar';
function test () {
const baz = 'baz';
const bark = 'bark';
const hawk = 'hawk';
}
const eagle = 'eagle';
// Output, stringArrayWrappersCount: 5
const _0x3018 = [
'foo',
'bar',
'baz',
'bark',
'hawk',
'eagle'
];
const _0x380f = function (_0x30182a, _0x380f29) {
_0x30182a = _0x30182a - 0x0;
let _0x4e002c = _0x3018[_0x30182a];
return _0x4e002c;
};
const _0xe4db7c = _0x380f;
const _0x26ca42 = _0x380f;
const _0x58c610 = _0x380f;
const foo = _0x58c610('0x0');
const bar = _0x26ca42('0x1');
function test() {
const _0x500eda = _0x380f;
const _0x1d1760 = _0x380f;
const _0x4ca8b0 = _0x380f;
const _0x4e002c = _0x4ca8b0('0x2');
const _0x573b1c = _0x1d1760('0x3');
const _0x1fb6ef = _0x500eda('0x4');
}
const eagle = _0x26ca42('0x5');
stringArrayWrappersChainedCalls
Type: boolean Default: true
⚠️
stringArray and stringArrayWrappersCount options must be enabled
Enables the chained calls between string array wrappers.
Example:
// Input
const foo = 'foo';
const bar = 'bar';
function test () {
const baz = 'baz';
const bark = 'bark';
function test1() {
const hawk = 'hawk';
const eagle = 'eagle';
}
}
// Output, stringArrayWrappersCount: 5, stringArrayWrappersChainedCalls: true
const _0x4714 = [
'foo',
'bar',
'baz',
'bark',
'hawk',
'eagle'
];
const _0x2bdb = function (_0x471439, _0x2bdb71) {
_0x471439 = _0x471439 - 0x0;
let _0x6e47e6 = _0x4714[_0x471439];
return _0x6e47e6;
};
const _0x1c3d52 = _0x2bdb;
const _0xd81c2a = _0x2bdb;
const foo = _0xd81c2a('0x0');
const bar = _0x1c3d52('0x1');
function test() {
const _0x21a0b4 = _0x1c3d52;
const _0x12842d = _0xd81c2a;
const _0x6e47e6 = _0x12842d('0x2');
const _0x4f3aef = _0x12842d('0x3');
function _0x40f1dc() {
const _0x468540 = _0x12842d;
const _0x1f4b05 = _0x21a0b4;
const _0x40a980 = _0x1f4b05('0x4');
const _0x4d1285 = _0x468540('0x5');
}
}
stringArrayWrappersParametersMaxCount
Type: number Default: 2
⚠️
stringArray option must be enabled
⚠️
Currently this option affects only wrappers added by stringArrayWrappersType function option value
Allows to control the maximum number of string array wrappers parameters. Default and minimum value is 2. Recommended value between 2 and 5.
stringArrayWrappersType
Type: string Default: variable
⚠️
stringArray and stringArrayWrappersCount options must be enabled
Allows to select a type of the wrappers that are appending by the stringArrayWrappersCount option.
Available values:
'variable': appends variable wrappers. Fast performance.'function': appends function wrappers. Slower performance than withvariablebut provides more strict obfuscation
Highly recommended to use function wrappers for higher obfuscation when a performance loss doesn't have a high impact on an obfuscated application.
Example of the 'function' option value:
// input
const foo = 'foo';
function test () {
const bar = 'bar';
}
// output
const a = [
'foo',
'bar'
];
const b = function (c, d) {
c = c - 0x0;
let e = a[c];
return e;
};
const d = function (c, f) {
return b(c - '0x372', f);
};
const foo = d('0x372');
function test() {
const e = function (c, f) {
return d(c - -'0x260', f);
};
const c = e('0x113');
}
stringArrayThreshold
Type: number Default: 0.8 Min: 0 Max: 1
⚠️
stringArray option must be enabled
You can use this setting to adjust the probability (from 0 to 1) that a string literal will be inserted into the stringArray.
This setting is especially useful for large code size because it repeatedly calls to the string array and can slow down your code.
stringArrayThreshold: 0 equals to stringArray: false.
target
Type: string Default: browser
Allows to set target environment for obfuscated code.
Available values:
browser;browser-no-eval;node.
Currently output code for browser and node targets is identical, but some browser-specific options are not allowed to use with node target. Output code for browser-no-eval target is not using eval.
transformObjectKeys
Type: boolean Default: false
Enables transformation of object keys.
Example:
// input
(function(){
var object = {
foo: 'test1',
bar: {
baz: 'test2'
}
};
})();
// output
var _0x2fae = [
'baz',
'test2',
'foo',
'test1',
'bar'
];
var _0x377c = function (_0x1fbd3f, _0x59c72f) {
_0x1fbd3f = _0x1fbd3f - 0x0;
var _0x14fada = _0x2fae[_0x1fbd3f];
return _0x14fada;
};
(function () {
var _0x8a12db = {};
_0x8a12db[_0x377c('0x0')] = _0x377c('0x1');
var _0xc75419 = {};
_0xc75419[_0x377c('0x2')] = _0x377c('0x3');
_0xc75419[_0x377c('0x4')] = _0x8a12db;
var _0x191393 = _0xc75419;
}());
unicodeEscapeSequence
Type: boolean Default: false
Allows to enable/disable string conversion to unicode escape sequence.
Unicode escape sequence increases code size greatly and strings easily can be reverted to their original view. Recommended to enable this option only for small source code.

Frequently Asked Questions
What javascript versions are supported?
es3, es5, es2015, es2016, es2017, es2018, es2019 and partially es2020
I want to use feature that described in README.md but it's not working!
The README on the master branch might not match that of the latest stable release.
Why CLI command not working?
Try to run npm link javascript-obfuscator command or install it globally with npm i -g javascript-obfuscator
Error maximum call stack size exceeded
Likely this is selfDefending mechanism. Something is changing source code after obfuscation with selfDefending option.
Online version?
JSX support?
No. JSX support isn't planned.
How to change kind of variables of inserted nodes (var, let or const)?
See: Kind of variables
Why I got null value instead of BigInt number?
BigInt obfuscation works correctly only in environments that support BigInt values. See ESTree spec
I enabled renameProperties option, and my code broke! What to do?
Just disable this option.
