Why not just use the W3C validator?

The W3C validator requires a live URL or file upload, does not work on localhost, and submits your code to external servers. FixTools works on any HTML you can paste and keeps your code private.

Is FixTools HTML validation free?

Yes. FixTools HTML validation is completely free, requires no account, and processes your code entirely in your browser without uploading it to any server.
