Paste JSON, download a .json file
A JSON blob copied out of a terminal or a network inspector is usually one unreadable line. Paste it here to check that it parses, read it formatted, and save it.
Press ⌘V to paste
A screenshot, an image, text, JSON, a PDF, a whole file — anything on your clipboard becomes a download.
or drop a file anywhere on this page
Steps
- 01Copy the JSON.
- 02Press ⌘V. If it parses, you get a Formatted option next to the raw one.
- 03Pick raw or formatted, then Download.
Good to know
Parsing doubles as validation
If the Formatted option does not appear, the JSON is malformed — a fast way to catch a truncated copy or a stray trailing comma.
Formatting uses two-space indentation
Key order is preserved exactly as it was written, so a diff against the original stays readable.
Questions
Does it change my JSON?
Only if you choose the Formatted option, which re-indents it. The raw option writes exactly what you pasted.
Can I download it as .txt instead?
Yes — edit the filename extension before downloading.
