About FormatChemy — Free Online Text Formatter
Paste it. See it.
This tool is and will always be completely free. No ads, no account, no strings attached.
Why does this exist?
I needed a simple, no-friction formatter I could open in a browser tab and use immediately. Every tool I found was either cluttered with ads, locked behind a sign-up, or only handled one format. I couldn't find anything that was just clean and easy to use, so I built my own.
What it can do
Auto-detect format
Paste any text and the tool figures out whether it's JSON, CSV, XML, or Markdown — no manual selection needed.
Format on demand
Click Format and your text is pretty-printed in place. No page reload, no copy-paste gymnastics.
Best-effort formatting
Even malformed input gets formatted as far as possible, with a clear error message explaining what went wrong.
Side-by-side viewers
JSON tree view, CSV table view, rendered Markdown, and XML tree view — all collapsible and resizable.
Manual format override
Know what you're working with? Pick the format yourself and skip detection entirely.
Undo
One-click undo brings back your original text if you don't like the result.
Persisted format selection
Your last manually chosen format is remembered across sessions — no need to re-select every time.
Always free, no account required
No sign-up, no paywall, no rate limits. Open the page and start formatting.
