Paste JSON from an API, a config file or an export. Get Markdown that a person, or an AI, can read at a glance.

This is an interactive tool. Use it at https://promptitin.com/free-tools/json-to-markdown.

## How to use it

1. Paste JSON, open a .json file, or tap Try an example.
2. If your JSON isn't valid, fix what the error message points to.
3. Copy the Markdown, or download it as a .md file.

## Tips

- Lists of records with the same simple fields become tables. Deeper data becomes nested lists.
- Top-level sections become headings, which helps an AI find its way around a big file.
- Remove fields you don't need before converting. Fewer fields means fewer tokens.
- Items with a name, title or id use it as their label.

## FAQ

### How are arrays converted?

An array of objects with simple values becomes a table with one column per field. Other arrays become bullet lists.

### Why convert JSON to Markdown for an AI?

Braces, quotes and commas cost tokens and make long data hard to follow. Markdown keeps the meaning with less clutter.

### What if my JSON has an error?

The tool shows the parser's message, which usually says where the problem is.

### Is my JSON uploaded?

No. It's converted in your browser.
