Frequently Asked Questions

What is Minify JSON?
Minifying removes all unnecessary whitespace, newlines, and comments from the JSON code, reducing its file size for faster loading.
Why does it say "Invalid JSON"?
This usually means you have a syntax error, such as a missing comma, unclosed bracket, or trailing comma. The tool will show an error message explaining what's wrong.
Is there a file size limit?
Since the tool runs in your browser, it can handle fairly large files (up to several MBs) depending on your device's memory.
