Copy or download the result
Copy or download the output — or press Swap to convert in the other direction.
About the JSON Encode
JSON-encode any text: quotes, backslashes, newlines and control characters are escaped and the result is wrapped in double quotes — exactly what json_encode() in PHP or JSON.stringify() in JavaScript produce for a string.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
