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.
Private and instant
Everything runs locally in your browser using standard web APIs — nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on any server — so the tool works offline, responds instantly, and keeps whatever you paste in on your own device. That makes it safe to use even for confidential, client, or internal data you would never send to an unknown website.
