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.
