About this tool
JSON Formatter is a free, browser-based tool that lets you format, validate, and minify JSON data with syntax highlighting. It supports JSON → Formatted. Everything runs locally on your device, so your files are never uploaded to a server. There's no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit — just open JSON Formatter, add your input, and get results instantly.

Enter your raw or minified JSON string.
Toggle between pretty-print and compact output.
Copy the valid JSON string to your clipboard.
Instantly turn a massive unreadable string into a perfectly indented tree.
JSON Formatter processes your data locally in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, tracked, or stored — your files never leave your device.
Use JSON Formatter as much as you want with no fees, no watermarks, and no hidden limits.
JSON Formatter runs in any modern browser. There's nothing to download, install, or configure.

Preview snippets instantly, debug them with a console, test responsive layouts, and understand why a sandboxed preview matters when you paste code from the internet.
