WhyCrashed

Free browser-based Windows diagnostics

Crash dumps, error reports, certificates, registry files — decoded on the spot, your files never leave your computer.

Drop any Windows file here

We identify it by its bytes — not just the name — and open it in the right tool: crash dumps, .wer reports, certificates, .reg files, anything. Nothing is uploaded.

The tools

Never uploaded

Every parser runs in your browser and reads only the byte ranges it needs. Watch the network tab — no file bytes leave.

Nothing to install

No WinDbg, no SDKs, no desktop utilities from 2009. A browser tab is the whole toolchain.

Instant & honest

Verdicts come with the evidence behind them and an honest confidence rating — never false certainty.

Why we built this

Every Windows diagnostics question ends the same way: "upload your file here" or "install this tool". Uploading a crash dump or a certificate to a stranger's server is exactly what a careful technician — or a careful anybody — shouldn't do. Modern browsers can parse these formats locally, so we built the whole toolbox that way, paired each tool with a reference library that explains what you're looking at, and kept it free.
