How it works

  1. 1Choose whether to format or minify your markup and the output updates instantly.
  2. 2Formatting adds indentation to nested tags for readability while minifying removes extra whitespace.
  3. 3Everything runs locally, which makes it safe for snippets that should never leave your browser.

Examples

<section><h1>Hello</h1><p>World</p></section>

Frequently asked questions

Does formatting change my HTML semantics?

Formatting adds whitespace between tags for readability. Minifying removes extra whitespace without changing structure.

Can I minify HTML for production?

Yes. Switch to minify mode to produce a compact single-line snippet.

Are attributes with special characters supported?

Yes. The formatter respects quoted attribute values when indenting tags.
