How to Use:

Paste a JSON string (such as one output from JSON.stringify) into the input box on the left. The tool will decode all escaped characters like \\n, \\\”, and \\\\ back into their literal form. The result appears in the right box. You can also import files like .json or .txt. Use the copy or export buttons to save your output. A live character counter is included.

What the JSON Unstringify Text Tool can do:

This tool parses stringified JSON text and turns it into its human-readable equivalent. It handles escaping for quotes, newlines, tabs, and symbols. Processing is instant and done entirely in the browser.

Example:

Before:

\"Line 1\\n\\\"Quoted\\\"\\nLine 2\"

After:

Line 1
"Quoted"
Line 2

Common Use Cases:

Perfect for reversing escaped strings from databases, logs, or code outputs. Useful for developers debugging API responses, editing embedded strings, or restoring user content from JSON formats.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re unstringifying JSON, try JSON Validator to make sure the structure’s actually usable. And if you want to prettify the result for easier reading, JSON Prettifier lays it out in a clean, readable way.
