JSON Unstringify
Decodes an escaped JSON string: escapes like \n and \" become real characters, giving you readable text back.

About
Used to make an escaped string (wrapped in \") readable again — from logs, API responses or code. The tool parses the string with JSON.parse; if it resolves to an object it's pretty-printed too.
Processing happens in your browser; your data is never sent out.
How to use
- Paste the escaped string (e.g. "line1\nline2") into the box.
- The decoded text is produced instantly.
- Copy the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What input should I give?
- Give an escaped JSON string in quotes. Raw text without quotes may be invalid.
- What if I paste an object string?
- If it's valid JSON, it's shown pretty-printed (indented).
