Is this JSON Formatter safe for sensitive data & credentials?

Yes, 100%. All processing runs client-side in your local browser memory. No text, tokens, payloads, or logs are ever transmitted to any remote server or analytics engine.

Can I use JSON Formatter offline without internet?

When you click Share Payload, your state is encoded directly into a URL hash fragment (#data=...) without storing anything on a database server.
