HTML Beautifier & Minifier

Beautify HTML for readability or minify it for production. All processing is browser-based — no data sent to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does HTML beautification do? +

Beautification re-indents HTML with consistent spacing and line breaks, making it easy to read, debug, and edit in an IDE. It does not change how the page renders in a browser.

Why minify HTML? +

Minification removes unnecessary whitespace and HTML comments, reducing file size. Smaller HTML files transfer faster over the network and improve page load time and Core Web Vitals scores.

Will minification break my HTML? +

Basic minification (removing whitespace between tags and comments) is generally safe. However, be careful with <pre> or <textarea> tags where whitespace is significant.

Is my HTML kept private? +

Yes. All formatting and minification is performed entirely in your browser using the js-beautify library. No data is ever sent to a server.
