How to Use the Java Properties Tool
The Java Properties tool processes input only in the current browser; nothing is uploaded, sent over the network, or written to persistent storage.
Input Properties

Parse key-value pairs
View the parsed results for separators, line continuations, comments, and Unicode escapes.
Select output
Copy UTF-8 or \uXXXX escaped form, and check how the target JVM reads it.
Limitations and Notes
- Different Properties implementations may differ in encoding and escaping details.
- The tool does not perform variable substitution, read environment variables, or write back to the original file.
- Processing stops when the text and single-line limits are exceeded, and the error location is retained.
FAQ
Will Chinese be lost?
The tool displays both the decoded Chinese text and optional Unicode escaped output.
How are backslash paths handled?
Parsing and formatting follow Properties escaping rules; Windows paths should be reviewed in the results.
Will it overwrite the file?
No, it only provides options to copy and download the results.
