The Code beautifier/minifier formats or compresses code for common languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL. Use it to quickly normalize indentation for reviews, or minify for compact embeds.
HTML/CSS cleanup
Normalize indentation before commits or PR reviews.
JS/SQL compaction
Minify code for embeds, tokens, or query strings.
Docs-ready snippets
Copy clean blocks for wikis and KB articles.
Quick start
- Open the Code Beautifier, pick your language (HTML, CSS, JS, or SQL), and choose Beautify or Minify.
- Paste your code in the input, adjust the indent toggle (2 or 4 spaces), and submit.
- Copy the output or run another pass with a different mode or indent preset.
Supported inputs
- Accepts HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or SQL. Very large inputs are processed server-side for consistency.
- Beautify mode reformats indentation and line breaks; Minify removes comments and collapses whitespace.
- Indent controls support 2 or 4 spaces; behavior may be conservative to avoid changing strings or literals.
