Up to 100,000 characters, 2,000 tokens and depth 100. Parsing/formatting uses the bundled Prettier GraphQL grammar. No schema validation, resolver execution, endpoint request or query-cost analysis.

A parsed query may still fail against a schema

Syntax can be valid while a field, argument or type is absent from the actual API. This page has no schema and makes no requests. Validate the operation against its intended schema, supply the required variables and review its effects before running it in another system. Formatting does not estimate query cost.

Will the query be sent to an endpoint?
