G Code Translator

Staring at a wall of G-code and wondering what it actually does? The G Code Translator instantly converts each CNC command into straightforward English so you can review, debug, or learn with confidence—no decoder ring required.

How It Works

1. Paste your G-code into the input box.
2. The translator reads each line and rewrites it in plain English, preserving the original order.
3. You receive a clean, line-by-line description of every rapid move, tool change, and spindle command.
