ABOUT


This page provides a convenient entry point for string unescaping operations. Whether you need to convert escaped characters like \n, \t, \" back to their readable form, this tool makes it quick and easy. For a complete list of supported escape characters, see the About section of our String Escape tool.

String unescaping works by converting escape sequences back to their original characters. For example, \n becomes a newline, \t becomes a tab, and \" becomes double quote. This is particularly useful when working with log files or any text that contains escaped characters.

As part of StringFlux, this tool can be chained with other string operations for more complex transformations. For instance, you can decode a Base64 string and then unescape it. The possibilities are endless! If you're specifically working with JSON data, you might want to check out our specialized JSON Unescape Tool.
