How to use Extract Text from JSON
- 1. Paste the JSON data. Paste a JSON object or array into the input pane, such as an API response or config file whose keys and values you want as flat plain text.
- 2. Choose what to extract. Select Keys and values, Keys only, or Values only from the Extract setting depending on whether you want field names, the data itself, or both listed out.
- 3. Copy the flattened list. Copy the resulting line-by-line list from the output pane and paste it into a spreadsheet, notes file or search tool where a flat view is easier to scan.
When to use Extract Text from JSON
Extract Text from JSON pulls the keys and values out of a JSON structure and lists them as plain text. Reach for Extract Text from JSON when nested JSON is hard to scan and you just want its field names or data flattened out.
- Scanning an API response for values. A deeply nested API response is hard to read in its raw form, and extracting just the values gives you a flat list to quickly check what data actually came back.
- Listing every field name in a config. You want an inventory of every key used across a large JSON config file, and extracting keys only produces that list without the clutter of the values themselves.
- Pasting JSON data into a spreadsheet quickly. Rather than writing a script to flatten a small JSON object, extracting keys and values here gives you a plain list you can paste straight into two spreadsheet columns.
Examples

name Ada age 36
About the Extract Text from JSON tool
Extract Text from JSON is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Pull the keys and values out of a JSON structure. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 211 Text utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with the Extract setting, and the result refreshes the moment you change it. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
Frequently asked questions
Does Extract Text from JSON cost anything?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
No data leaves your device. The whole tool is JavaScript that runs inside your browser tab, so there is no upload, no server-side processing and no log of what you did. If you disconnect from the internet after the page loads, it keeps working.
How much text can I process at once?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a shared server, the practical ceiling is your machine's memory, which comfortably handles inputs far larger than typical online tools allow.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
Nothing to install and no account needed. Open the page in any up-to-date browser, including on a phone or tablet, and the tool is ready.
How do I use the result?
The output panel has a one-click copy button, and you can keep refining the input while you work; the result updates in place as you type.
