Convert JSON to Plain Text

Convert JSON to Plain Text flattens JSON objects into readable key-value text. The Convert JSON to Plain Text tool runs in your browser with live output, import, copy, and export support.

Paste your input above or import a file below.
No file chosen
Supported file types: .json, .txt
Total characters: 0

How to Use:

Paste your JSON object into the Input JSON box. It should be a valid JSON structure like:{ “name”: “Alice”, “email”: “[email protected]”, “active”: true }

You can also import a .json or .txt file by clicking the Choose File button. The moment you paste or load valid JSON, Convert JSON to Plain Text automatically flattens it. The output appears in the Plain Text Output box as key-value pairs on individual lines.

Click Copy Output to copy the plain text result, or use Export to File to download it as a .txt file. Use Clear All to reset the tool and start from scratch.

What Convert JSON to Plain Text can do:

This tool takes structured JSON and transforms it into clean plain text using a key: value format. It supports nested objects by showing their full paths (e.g. user.name: Alice). This makes it ideal for logs, summaries, or turning data into a more human-readable format. The output updates in real time, flashes when it changes, and shows a live character count so you know how large the result is before exporting.

Example:

Input:

{ "name": "Alice", "email": "[email protected]", "active": true }

Output:

codename: Alice
email: [email protected]
active: true

Common Use Cases:

Convert JSON to Plain Text is perfect when you need to simplify data for display, copy it into reports, or prepare it for non-technical users. Whether you’re working with config files, API responses, or output logs, this tool gives you instant, clean results without needing to format by hand.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After the conversion, Remove Quotes from Text can help clean up leftover syntax that doesn’t belong in plain text. And if you want just the values without all the structure, Extract JSON Keys/Values is a good step before flattening it all out.
