Frequently Asked Questions

How do I format JSON for free?

Paste your JSON in the left box and click Beautify. It is instantly pretty-printed with your chosen indentation on the right, and validated for errors. Completely free.

How does the validator show errors?

If the JSON is invalid, a red message shows the parser error and, where possible, the position of the problem so you can fix it quickly.

Can I minify JSON too?

Yes. Click Minify to strip all whitespace and produce the smallest valid JSON on a single line, ready to copy.

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. All formatting and validation happen entirely in your browser. Your data is never uploaded — guaranteed privacy.

What indentation can I choose?

You can pretty-print with 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs, depending on your code style preference.

Does it work with large JSON files?

Yes, it handles large JSON well since everything runs locally. Extremely large inputs depend on your device's memory.
