JSON Pretty Print: Logs & API Output, Readable

Made for the moment you paste a stringified one-liner from a log, cURL response, or terminal output. Pretty print the payload into a readable document so you can scan fields, spot nulls, and find the value you came for.

Use pretty print when the JSON came out of a console, log line, cURL, or any terminal-shaped source. For minified API responses you want to indent and edit, JSON Beautifier is tuned for that. For a single workspace with validate, format, and minify together, see JSON Formatter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pretty print stringified JSON from a log line?

Copy the one-line payload directly from the log or cURL output and paste it. The tool parses the string, expands it across lines with your chosen indent, and shows the result side-by-side with the input.

What if the log entry wraps the JSON in extra quotes or escapes?

Strip the surrounding quotes and unescape \" sequences before pasting. If the source is a string-of-a-string, mentally apply JSON.parse once: the inner string is what you paste here.

When should I use pretty print instead of beautifier or formatter?

Pretty print is tuned for stringified JSON from logs and terminals. JSON Beautifier is for minified API responses you want to indent and edit. JSON Formatter is the full workspace with validate, minify, and sort keys.

Can I choose indentation?

Yes. You can pretty print with 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs.

Is this same as beautifying?

In practice, yes—pretty print and beautify both mean formatting JSON to be human-readable with indentation. This page targets the “pretty print JSON” search intent.

What if JSON is invalid?

Fix syntax errors first, then pretty print. Use JSON Validator or Fix Invalid JSON for guided help.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The pretty print tool is mobile-friendly with a clear primary action and easy copy/download flow.

Can I download output?

Yes. After pretty printing, you can download the output as a .json file.
