Paste your raw application or server logs.

2. Detect fields

The tool detects timestamps, levels and messages.

3. Generate JSON

The extracted information is converted into valid JSON.

Example JSON output

  {
    "line": 1,
    "timestamp": "2026-09-27 10:15:23",
    "level": "INFO",
    "message": "Server started on port 3000"
  }
]
