Beautify, minify, and validate JSON locally

Paste JSON or drop a .json file, choose an indentation style, and locate syntax errors without uploading content.

Beautify or minify

Format with two spaces, four spaces, or tabs, or create compact JSON.

Precise error location

Invalid JSON reports the relevant line and column for faster fixes.

Copy and download

Copy the processed text or download it as a JSON file.

JSON formatter FAQ

Is JSON uploaded?

No. File reading, parsing, formatting, and downloads happen locally in the browser.

Does it detect trailing commas?

Yes. Trailing commas are not valid JSON and are reported as syntax errors.

Can it process large files?

Capacity depends on browser memory and device performance, but ordinary config and data files work well.
