JSON Unescape

The JSON Unescape tool reverses JSON string escaping, converting sequences like \n, \t, \", and \uXXXX back into the characters they represent. It is the quickest way to read the real content of a string that was escaped for embedding in JSON, such as a log message or serialized payload. Paste the escaped text and get the original back instantly.

• Decodes \n, \t, \r, \b, and \f into real whitespace and control characters
• Converts \uXXXX sequences back to their Unicode characters
• Unescapes double quotes, backslashes, and forward slashes
• Accepts input with or without surrounding double quotes
• Reveals multi-line content that was collapsed into escape sequences
• One-click copy of the decoded raw text
