HTML Minify and Beautify

Writing HTML code can sometimes get messy, especially when you forget to properly indent new tags or structure your elements. Over time, even small projects can become difficult to read, maintain, or debug. That’s where this tool comes in — it helps you create clean, readable HTML code in just a few clicks.

Simply paste your HTML into the input area below and click ‘Beautify HTML’. The tool will automatically format your code with proper indentation, spacing, and structure, making it much easier to read and work with. Clean HTML not only improves readability but also helps you spot errors faster and maintain your projects more efficiently.

If you’re looking to optimize your webpage loading times, this tool also allows you to minify your HTML. By removing unnecessary spaces, line breaks, and comments, minified code reduces file size and ensures that your webpages load faster, which benefits your visitors and improves overall performance.

How to use it

The html minify and beautify web tool is a great tool to help you minify or beautify your html code.

Add your codePaste your HTML into the input editor above, or use Load file to open an .html file.
Pick a modeBeautify lays every element out on its own line. Inline keeps short text-only elements together on one line and only breaks for real block structure. Minify strips comments and squeezes out whitespace for production.
FormatClick 'Format →' (or just keep editing — the output updates automatically a moment after you stop typing).
Copy or downloadClick Copy to put the result on your clipboard, or Download to save it as an .html file.

Good to know

Styles and scripts included

CSS inside a <style> block and JavaScript inside an inline <script> block are formatted along with the surrounding HTML. A <script src="..."> with an external file is left alone.

<pre> and <textarea> stay verbatim

Content inside these elements is never reformatted or reflowed, since whitespace there is part of what gets displayed.

Per-mode options

The row under the controls changes with the selected mode — toggle things like preserving comments or self-closing void elements such as <br />.

Frequently asked questions

What is Inline mode?

It is a middle ground between Beautify and Minify: elements that contain only text and other inline elements (like a heading or a short paragraph) are kept on one line, while elements with block-level children (like a list or a section) are still expanded and indented. It keeps the output compact without turning it into one unreadable line.

Does minifying change how my page looks?

No. Only whitespace and (optionally) comments are removed. A single space is kept anywhere it is needed to separate words that sit next to an inline element, so text never runs together.

Will this rewrite my CSS or JavaScript?

CSS inside a <style> block is formatted by this tool's own CSS engine. JavaScript inside an inline <script> block is left as-is when minifying (only its surrounding whitespace is collapsed), and reformatted when beautifying.

Why didn't anything happen when I pasted my code?

The output updates automatically shortly after you stop typing or pasting, or you can click 'Format →' to update it immediately.

Is my code uploaded?

No. All formatting happens in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Should I minify or beautify my HTML?

Beautify or Inline while you're writing and editing — readable markup is much easier to work with. Minify the final version before it goes live, since a smaller file loads faster for your visitors. Keep a non-minified copy as your working version either way.
