Why format JSON?
Minified JSON from APIs or logs is hard to read. This formatter re-indents it with 2-space indentation so you can spot structure and values at a glance, entirely client-side.

Paste any JSON to instantly beautify it with proper indentation — no server, no upload.

How to use JSON Formatter
Paste into JSON Formatter, tweak options, and copy the output. Formatting and conversion run in the browser for this tool.
Tips for better results
Keep a backup of original input before bulk transforms. Invalid input should show an error instead of silent corruption.
Privacy and offline-friendly processing
Whenever possible, JSON Formatter processes your data locally with JavaScript in this page. That means drafts, secrets, and unfinished work stay on your device by default. Prefer this workflow when you do not want to upload sensitive text, tokens, passwords, or files to a third-party service.
