Does it work with NDJSON (one-per-line)?

No — NDJSON is a sequence of independent objects, not a single JSON document. Wrap them in an array first: [{...},{...}].

Are line numbers included?

Yes — line numbering is on by default, which is helpful for referencing specific keys in code reviews.

JSON to PDF

Pretty-print a JSON file to PDF — useful for archiving API payloads, config dumps, or audit logs.

Your files never leave your browser. All processing happens on your device — nothing is uploaded.

How does the JSON to PDF work?

Drop a .json file (or paste a payload) and get a paginated, line-numbered PDF back. We re-format the JSON with the indent of your choice (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs) so it's readable, even if the source was minified. Common uses: archiving API responses for an audit trail, sending a config snapshot to a non-technical stakeholder, or printing test fixtures for a code review.

🔒 Security & Privacy

All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.

📱 Use it on any device

Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.

⚡ Quick & easy

Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.

🎁 Always free, no signup

Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.

Frequently asked

You'll see a parse-error message identifying where the problem is. Fix it in the source and try again — the tool won't produce a PDF from invalid JSON.
