JSON Escape Unescape
Escape raw text as a JSON string or unescape a JSON string value.
Escape and unescape JSON strings
Embedding text inside a JSON string means escaping quotes, backslashes, and newlines; reading an escaped value means reversing it. This tool does both — turn raw text into a valid JSON string, or unescape a JSON string back into readable text.
It saves the error-prone manual work of escaping a payload to paste into a config, or decoding an over-escaped value you copied from a log. Paste your text, pick the direction, and copy the correctly escaped or unescaped result.
Both directions, locally
It escapes quotes, backslashes, and newlines to embed text in a JSON string, and reverses that to read one. The transform runs in your browser and never uploads anything.
