Frequently Asked Questions
What does the JSON formatter do?
It takes raw or minified JSON and adds proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing so the data is easy to read. It also validates the syntax and highlights errors instantly.
Is my data safe?
Yes. ToolCove runs 100% client-side — your JSON never leaves your browser. No server uploads, no logging, no analytics on your input.
Can I minify JSON too?
Absolutely. Toggle between Format (beautify) and Minify modes with one click. Minify strips all whitespace for the smallest possible output.
What size JSON can it handle?
The tool works well with files up to 10 MB. Since everything runs locally in your browser, performance depends on your device.
Do I need to sign up?
No. ToolCove is completely free with no registration, no limits, and no paywalls.
