How to Use:

Paste or import your text into the left box. The tool escapes every forward slash (/) and shows the updated result on the right. You can enable the “Double escape” toggle to use \\\\ instead of \\/. The output updates live, and you can export or copy it. File import supports formats like .txt, .json, and .html.

What the Slash-escape Text Tool can do:

This tool replaces every forward slash with either \/ or \\\\ depending on your toggle setting. It’s helpful for preparing JSON strings, embedding paths in code, or escaping characters for regex. All processing is done client-side.

Example:

Before:

/path/to/file

After (single):

\/path\/to\/file

After (double):

\\\\path\\\\to\\\\file

Common Use Cases:

Use it to safely encode text for JSON payloads, JavaScript strings, or code comments. Great for developers formatting paths, URLs, or regex patterns in environments that require escaping.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re escaping slashes, you might also need JSON Stringify Text it handles full data structures and makes sure everything’s safely escaped. And when you’re ready to reverse it, Slash-unescape Text brings it all back.
