Yes. This JSON formatter is offered at no charge.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Use it directly on this page.

Is my JSON sent to a server?

No. Processing happens only in your browser; data is not sent to Webooro servers.

What happens if the JSON has syntax errors?

Invalid JSON will show an error message. Check for missing quotes, comma placement, and bracket pairs, then try again.

What's the difference between Format and Minify?

Format adds indentation and line breaks for readability. Minify removes whitespace to reduce file size. Use Format for debugging, Minify for transmission.

Can I upload a JSON file directly?

Currently you paste JSON text directly. To use a .json file, open it in any text editor (Notepad, VS Code), copy the contents, and paste them here.

Can I include comments in JSON?

Standard JSON does not support comments. Adding // or /* */ will produce a syntax error. If you need comments, consider JSON5 or JSONC formats — but most APIs and tools expect strict JSON.

Can I copy or save the result as a file?

Yes. Use the copy button to put the formatted or minified result on your clipboard. To save as a file, paste the result into Notepad and save with a .json extension.

JSON Formatter – Beautify, Minify, and validate

Paste API responses, config snippets, or logs to format them for reading—or minify for smaller payloads. Parsing runs only in your browser; pasted content is not uploaded to Webooro.

JSON Input

Formatted JSON

📋 How to Use

Paste JSON into the input area.
Click Format for indentation, or Minify for a single line.
Copy the result with Copy.

Invalid JSON shows an error. Data stays in your browser.

✨ How to use it well

Format is for humans reading structure; Minify saves bytes over the wire. This page switches between both without extra tools.

If JSON is invalid, you get a helpful error. Avoid pasting secrets into untrusted sites—here, data stays client-side.

Highlights

Beautify or minify in one place.
Syntax errors surface when JSON is invalid.
Your JSON is not sent to our servers.

Great for debugging REST responses, cleaning config files, or unfolding one-line logs.

Good use cases

Pretty-print a backend log line
Make config.json readable before editing
Minify JSON before embedding in a bundle
Find a missing comma or quote quickly

Compared with other tools

IDEs also format JSON, but this is quick when you only have a browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

For huge files or CI pipelines, prefer CLI or editor plugins.
