JSON Converter for Facebook Chat

Convert Facebook chat JSON files into readable text with timestamp. Now includes smart filtering and privacy tools.

Yes, we definitely need to update it! You just solved a huge pain point (the "Mojibake" encoding/garbage text), and that is a major selling point. Here is the Updated Description for Version 2.1. I have kept the "Beast Mode" energy but added a new section highlighting the "Smart Text Repair" feature you just built. Copy and paste this into the Store Listing: JSON Chat Cleaner (Beast Mode) — Version 2.1 Stop struggling with messy Facebook JSON exports! JSON Chat Cleaner turns cluttered, hard-to-read data into clean, professional conversation logs. Whether you are archiving memories, analyzing data, or sharing transcripts, this is the ultimate tool for reclaiming your chat history. 🔥 NEW in Version 2.1: Smart Text Repair We have added a powerful new engine that fixes Facebook's broken text encoding! Fixes "Garbage" Characters: Say goodbye to weird symbols like ❤️ or 🥰. Restores Emojis: Automatically detects and repairs broken emoji codes so they display correctly (❤️, 😂, etc.). Global Language Support: perfectly restores non-English text, ensuring names and messages in any language are readable. 🚀 "Beast Mode" Features We’ve overhauled the extension to strip away digital noise: Media & Attachment Filtering: Instantly hide system messages like "Sent a photo" or "Sent a video" for a pure text experience.

A: Facebook exports often have encoding errors (Mojibake). Our new v2.1 update automatically detects these errors and repairs them so you can read your text and see your emojis again! Q: Can I view the converted data in the extension? A: No, to ensure the fastest processing and best privacy, the extension generates a clean file for you to download and open in any text editor. Q: Does it remove shared photos and videos? A: Yes! While JSON files don't contain the actual image files, they are often cluttered with "Sent a photo" messages. Our extension scrubs these references out, giving you a clean, text-only transcript.
