JSON Formatter & Beautifier

How do I use JSON Formatter & Beautifier?

1. Paste minified or messy JSON into the input box.
2. The pretty-printed result appears instantly.
3. Copy it or download the formatted .json file.

Why use our json formatter & beautifier?

This JSON beautifier formats any valid JSON with two-space indentation, making nested structures easy to read and debug. It doubles as a JSON validator: invalid JSON produces a clear error message instead of a silent failure. Since formatting runs entirely in your browser, API responses, config files and test fixtures with sensitive values stay private. Pair it with the JSON minifier to compress payloads before shipping them to production.

Making a minified API response readable before debugging

A one-line JSON response from a REST API is hard to read when you are debugging an integration. Formatting it with indentation is the difference between squinting and scanning.

{"ok":true,"data":{"users":[{"id":1,"active":true},{"id":2,"active":false}],"total":2}}

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "users": [
      { "id": 1, "active": true },
      { "id": 2, "active": false }
    ],
    "total": 2
  }
}

Paste the minified body from a webhook or a curl response and instantly get an indented view with nested structure you can actually read.
