Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Everything runs in your browser. No JSON data is ever sent to our servers or stored anywhere.

There's no hard limit. The tool handles JSON files up to several megabytes. Very large files may take a moment to process.

Standard JSON doesn't support comments. If your data contains comments, they'll need to be removed first for valid JSON parsing.

Minifying removes all whitespace, newlines, and indentation from your JSON, producing the most compact representation. This is useful for reducing file size in production.
