Paste JSON or open a .json file. Formatting runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. Paste JSON or load a .json file from your device.
  2. Click Prettify to beautify with your chosen indent, or Minify to compress.
  3. Copy the result or download a .json file. Validation errors point to the problem line.

Features

  • Beautify with 2-space, 4-space, or tab indentation
  • Optional sort keys for stable, readable output
  • Minify and validate in one click
  • Copy and download. Processing stays in your browser

Optional key sorting makes diffs and code reviews simpler when two JSON files should match.
