{ } How to use
- Paste the escaped string body.
- Select Process to read it as plain text.
{ } How it works
JSON Unescape works on the text you provide. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Input
- Escaped input — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
Output
TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Read a stack trace, a log line or an HTML fragment that arrived inside a JSON string.
- Recover a multi-line value that was flattened into escapes.
- Check what an escaped string actually contains before using it.
{ } Limitations
- The input must be the inside of the string, without the surrounding quotes; an unescaped double quote in the middle makes it invalid.
- The input must be a valid JSON string body, so a stray backslash — a Windows path pasted raw, for instance — is reported rather than guessed at.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
It says my input is not a valid escaped string.
Usually a lone backslash or an unescaped quote. Backslashes must be doubled: C:\\Users, not C:\Users.
