Ah, it doesn't auto-format it. If I paste in non-formatted JSON, it stays non-formatted. But if I press option+cmd+L on Mac, Ctrl+Alt+L on windows, it formats it nicely.

JSON | PyCharm Documentation
February 10, 2026 - In the File Name Patterns area, click and type *.json in the Add Wildcard dialog that opens. PyCharm can automatically download and use schemas from the JSON Schema Store that hosts schema files for many popular configuration files. As soon as you open a file whose name is associated with one of the available schemas (for example, tsconfig.json), PyCharm downloads and uses this schema for it.

February 5, 2009 - The trouble with JSON, however, it that's it's quite hard to read. Not because it's so complicated, but because it has been optimized for network communication, which in this case, means: all the whitespace has been stripped. Wouldn't it be nice to have an integrated JSON formatter in your IDE to handle this?

From the Prettier package list, select the prettier installation to use. If you followed the standard installation procedure, PyCharm locates the prettier package itself and the field is filled in automatically.

You showed the input file (or an editor view); there may be a Byte Order Mark that shows the contents are Big Endian or Little Endian ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8898294/convert-utf-8-with-bom-to-utf-8-with-no-bom-in-python ) in the file, which you may or may not see depending on how you look (say editor vs an Octal Dump (od) command (in Linux, at least). Is manage.py your code? It likely has a .encode (or .decode) somewhere that you can probably change to fix this, or you write a few-line separate program to fix the output of the manage.py
