JSON Beautifier

Paste a single-line API response or a minified config file and click Format to beautify it into properly indented, readable JSON - choose 2-space or 4-space indentation depending on what your team's style expects. What was an unreadable wall of text becomes a document you can actually scan and understand at a glance.

Beautifying is a single, undoable action - your pasted text is left exactly as it arrived until you click Format, and Cmd+Z (or Ctrl+Z) instantly reverts to the original minified version if you need to paste it back somewhere else unchanged.

An optional key-sort mode alphabetizes object keys as part of beautifying, which is useful when comparing two JSON payloads that list the same keys in a different order - once sorted, the structural differences are much easier to spot by eye.

Because parsing and formatting both run in a background worker, beautifying a multi-megabyte log dump or API dump does not lock up the page - the beautified output appears in the raw pane and the tree at the same time, ready to read or copy.

Frequently asked questions

What does beautifying actually change?
It only adds indentation, line breaks, and (optionally) sorts keys - the values themselves are untouched, and the change is a single undoable edit.
Can I pick 2-space or 4-space indentation?
Yes - the Format menu lets you choose the indent width before beautifying.
Will beautifying help me compare two JSON files?
Turning on key sorting while beautifying puts both documents' keys in the same order, which makes structural differences much easier to spot.
Is my JSON sent to a server to be beautified?
No. Beautifying runs entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded to our servers.
