Add Spacing to JSON

Add Spacing to JSON makes compact JSON readable by formatting it with proper indentation. Instantly beautify your JSON for easier review.

Paste your input above or import a file below.
No file chosen
Supported file types: .txt, .csv, .tsv, .log, .json, .xml, .md, .ini, .yaml, .yml, .html, .htm, .css
Total characters: 0

How to Use:

Paste your JSON into the input box or load a file with “Choose File.” The tool automatically reformats the input using 2-space indentation, turning any minified or hard-to-read JSON into a nicely spaced layout. You’ll see the updated version on the right in real time, along with a character count. Use “Copy Output” or “Export to File” to save it, or hit “Clear All” to reset everything.

What Add Spacing to JSON can do:

Add Spacing to JSON takes a dense or single-line JSON block and expands it for readability. That’s useful when you’re trying to understand complex data structures, debug API responses, or prepare output for documentation. The tool runs entirely in your browser and doesn’t modify the data it just makes it easier to read by adding clean, consistent spacing.

Example:

Input:

{"name":"Alice","age":30,"skills":["JavaScript","Python"]}

Output:

{
  "name": "Alice",
  "age": 30,
  "skills": [
    "JavaScript",
    "Python"
  ]
}

Common Use Cases:

Use Add Spacing to JSON when pasting in minified config files, inspecting webhook payloads, or prettifying exports from code or databases. It’s perfect for reviewing changes in version control, formatting data for reports, or just making raw JSON human-friendly.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

To clean up dense blocks, JSON can be prettified first with Prettify JSON so the layout becomes easier to follow. Then, if even more clarity is needed, Highlight JSON Syntax can be used to bring out the structure visually.
