Free JSON Formatter & Validator

Minified API responses and hand-written config files are hard to read as one long line. This tool reformats JSON with proper indentation, checks it's valid, and tells you exactly where a syntax error is if it isn't — all without sending your data anywhere.

What does "Minify" do?

Minify strips all whitespace and line breaks, producing the smallest possible JSON string — useful when you need to paste JSON into a URL parameter, a single-line config value, or reduce payload size.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Formatting and validation happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript's built-in JSON parser. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored.

Yes, though extremely large files (several MB) may be slower to process since everything runs in your browser's memory.

Format adds indentation and line breaks for readability. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace to shrink the file size.
