Frequently asked questions

Is this JSON formatter free?
▾
100% free with no usage limits, no account and no watermarks. Supported by optional non-intrusive ads.
Is my JSON data safe?
▾
All processing runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your JSON never touches any server — zero data transmission.
What does Auto Repair fix?
▾
Trailing commas before } or ], single quotes instead of double quotes, JavaScript-style // and /* */ comments, and undefined values replaced with null.
What keyboard shortcuts are available?
▾
Ctrl+Shift+F (Cmd+Shift+F on Mac) to Beautify. Ctrl+Shift+M to Minify. Ctrl+Enter to copy the output.
Can I format very large JSON?
▾
Yes — paste size is limited only by your browser memory. File uploads are capped at 5MB. Files over 5MB can be pasted directly.
What is the Tree View for?
▾
Tree View renders your JSON as a collapsible explorer. Click any ▶ to collapse or expand objects and arrays — ideal for navigating API responses with hundreds of fields.
