Online C Compiler – IDE, Editor and Playground

Edit, run, and debug C code online for free! Powered by C and WebAssembly.

Edit the C source and header files above, then press Run. Boot.dev compiles the project to WebAssembly and executes the result in your browser.

Use the playground for small C programs, pointer and memory experiments, standard-library practice, and compiler-error debugging without a local toolchain.

How to use the online C compiler

  1. Edit main.c and the included header, or add another .c or .h file.
  2. Press Run to compile the project and execute the WebAssembly output.
  3. Read program output or compiler errors, make a change, and run it again.

What this C playground supports

  • Compiled C code. Compile source to WebAssembly and run it in the browser.
  • Source and header files. Work with up to five .c and .h files.
  • Compiler diagnostics. Inspect build failures alongside program output.
  • Local autosave. Keep your C files in this browser between visits.
