What is a Code Prettifier & Minifier?
A code prettifier (or beautifier) adds indentation and spacing to make code easier for humans to read. A minifier, on the other hand, removes all unnecessary characters like whitespace, comments, and newlines to reduce the file size, making it faster to load and execute. This tool does both!

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Prettify and Minify?
Prettify (or beautify) adds whitespace and indentation to make code readable for humans. It's best for development. Minify removes all unnecessary characters (like spaces, comments, and newlines) to make the file size smaller, which is ideal for production environments as it improves loading speed.
Which languages are supported?
Currently, our tool supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for both prettifying and minifying.
Is my code uploaded to a server?
No. All formatting and minification happens directly in your browser. Your code is never sent to our servers, ensuring your data remains private and secure.
Can this tool fix syntax errors in my code?
No. This tool is a formatter, not a validator or a linter. If your code has syntax errors, the formatting or minification process will likely fail. You should ensure your code is valid before using this tool.
