About PHP Deserialize
Deserializes PHP serialized data, outputting keyed arrays as JSON. This function does not support object tags. Example: a:2:{s:1:"a";i:10;i:0;a:1:{s:2:"ab";b:1;}} becomes {"a": 10,0: {"ab": true}} Output valid JSON: JSON doesn't support integers as keys, whereas PHP serialization does. Enabling this will cast these integers to strings. This will also escape backslashes.
Input: text. Output: text.

Before interpreting the result
Formatters change layout; minifiers reduce unnecessary formatting. Parsing requirements differ by language. Preserve original bytes when signatures or checksums depend on them.
How to use this page
- Paste your input or open a local file.
- Adjust tool options if needed, then choose Run tool.
- Copy the result or download the original output bytes.
Inputs and results are not added to the public catalogue or saved in the URL. Processing happens in your browser; HTTP Request and DNS over HTTPS send the requests you explicitly run. Files up to 128 MiB can be opened; decompression and image tools may have smaller processing limits. Large results have a shortened preview. Text and HTML downloads use UTF-8; binary downloads preserve output bytes. Pasted text follows browser newline handling; open a file when exact input bytes matter.
