Minified or messy JSON

Formatted JSON

Runs entirely in your browser — nothing here is uploaded anywhere.

How it works

  2. It's parsed and re-printed with 2-space indentation.

Frequently asked questions

Is this JSON formatter free?

Yes, completely free with no usage limit — it runs entirely in your browser.

Does my JSON get uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing and formatting both happen locally in your browser using JavaScript's built-in JSON parser — nothing is sent to any server.

What happens if my JSON is invalid?

You'll see an error describing what's wrong (e.g. a missing comma or unclosed bracket) instead of a formatted result.
