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.
