Frequently Asked Questions
What does escaping do?
It turns your text into a valid JSON string, wrapping it in quotes and encoding characters like quotes, backslashes, and newlines.
What does unescaping do?
It reverses the process, decoding a JSON string back into the plain text it represents.
What if my input is not a valid JSON string?
In unescape mode the tool reports that the input is not a valid JSON-escaped string, so you can fix it.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves the tab.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool here is free to use with no sign up.
