What JSON unescaping restores
JSON escape sequences represent special characters inside strings. This tool converts sequences such as \n, \t, \", and \\ back to their original characters.

Strict and reversible
The input is treated as the content of a JSON string without its surrounding quotes. Invalid or incomplete escape sequences produce an error instead of silently changing the text.
JSON Unescape FAQ
Should I include surrounding quotation marks?
No. Paste only the escaped content between the quotation marks. This matches the output produced by the JSON Escape tool.
Does this format the restored JSON?
No. It restores the original characters exactly. Use JSON Formatter afterward if you need to change indentation or validate the resulting JSON document.
