JSON Escape / Unescape

Convert raw text into a valid JSON string line, or revert an escaped JSON string back to normal text.

Valid JSON Strings

JSON strings cannot contain unescaped double quotes or backslashes. Newlines must also be escaped as \n.

  • Escape: Turns Hello "World" into Hello \"World\".
  • Unescape: Reverses the process, making the text readable again.

How to Use

  • Paste your text on the left.
  • Select Escape to prepare it for a JSON file.
  • Select Unescape if you pasted a string from a JSON file.
