Questions about Format JSON

Are my files uploaded?

This tool processes files in your browser. File contents are not uploaded to FileToast. Downloads stay wherever you save them.

Can invalid JSON be formatted?

The input must be valid JSON. Syntax errors are reported so you can correct them first.

Can I produce compact JSON?

Yes. Choose compact output to remove formatting whitespace, or select indentation for readability.

What are the file and processing limits?

Text is processed in your browser. Very large passages may be slow on devices with limited memory.
