chmod Calculator
Calculate Unix file permissions online with numeric `755`, symbolic `rwxr-xr-x`, linked checkbox matrix editing, and a ready-to-copy `chmod` command.
How to use
- Enter numeric permissions such as `644`, `755`, or `600` to see the symbolic form instantly.
- Or type symbolic permissions like `rwxr-xr-x` to convert them back into numeric mode.
- Adjust owner, group, and others permission bits with the read / write / execute checkbox matrix.
- Copy the generated `chmod` command for terminal use, scripts, deployment notes, or permission reviews.
Features
- Bidirectional numeric permission ↔ symbolic permission conversion
- Linked permission matrix with live `chmod` command generation
- Includes common presets, permission summaries, and fully local calculation
Why use this?
- Useful for Linux operations, backend deployment, shell scripting, Docker debugging, and server permission review
- Faster than mentally recalculating `4 / 2 / 1`, especially when checking owner, group, and others combinations
- Runs fully in the browser so you can calculate and copy results without jumping back and forth to a terminal
