CSS Formatter
Format, beautify, and minify CSS
About This Tool
The CSS Formatter & Beautifier converts compressed or unreadable CSS into clean, properly indented stylesheets. It handles all standard CSS features including media queries, pseudo-classes, keyframe animations, custom properties (--variables), and nested selectors.
The minify mode removes all comments and unnecessary whitespace, producing the smallest possible valid CSS for production. All processing happens locally in your browser β no CSS is ever sent to a server.
How to Use
- Paste your CSS into the Input panel on the left.
- Select your preferred indentation (2 or 4 spaces).
- Click Format to beautify, or Minify to compress.
- Click Copy to copy the result to your clipboard.
Use Cases
Front-end developers format CSS copied from browser DevTools, legacy stylesheets, or design system exports. The minify feature reduces CSS bundle size in production, often cutting file size by 30β50%. Also useful for formatting CSS-in-JS output and third-party libraries for inspection.
