JSON Escape & Unescape Tool

Easily convert special characters in your JSON strings.

The JSON Escape/Unescape tool handles special characters in JSON strings by converting them to their escaped equivalents or restoring escaped sequences to their original form. Essential for developers working with JSON data that contains quotes, backslashes, Unicode characters, or control characters, it ensures proper string formatting for storage, transmission, or embedding in code. Whether you're preparing strings for APIs, debugging character encoding issues, or cleaning data imports, this tool handles the complex escaping rules automatically.

You can paste text directly, upload files, or work with large blocks of content that need escaping or unescaping. Because processing runs client-side, your data stays private and transformations happen instantly without server dependencies. The tool pairs well with the validator — escape your strings first, then validate the resulting JSON structure. Perfect for preparing quoted content, handling user-generated text, or resolving encoding problems in data pipelines. Try escaping text with special characters to see how it handles quotes, newlines, and Unicode sequences.
