CSS Formatter & Minifier

Online

Beautify messy CSS with consistent indentation, or minify it to reduce file size — all processing happens in your browser, nothing is sent to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a CSS formatter do?

A CSS formatter (also called a CSS beautifier) takes compressed or poorly indented CSS and rewrites it with consistent indentation, one declaration per line, and proper spacing. This makes the code easier to read and maintain.

What does CSS minification do?

CSS minification removes all whitespace, comments and unnecessary characters from CSS without changing how it works. The result is a smaller file that loads faster in the browser, which improves page performance.

How much does minification reduce file size?

Minification typically reduces CSS file size by 20–50%. The exact saving depends on how many comments and how much whitespace the original file contains. Combining minification with Gzip compression can reduce size by 70–90%.

Is my CSS safe?

Yes. All formatting and minification happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your code is never sent to any server.

Does the formatter handle media queries and nested rules?

Yes. The formatter correctly indents rules inside @media, @keyframes, @supports and other at-rules, producing clean and readable output.

Can I use this for SCSS or Less?

The formatter is designed for standard CSS. It may work for basic SCSS or Less syntax but does not understand preprocessor-specific features like nesting, variables or mixins.
