How to Use

Paste HTML, choose indentation, then beautify, minify, or validate. Review structural warnings before copying or downloading.

Preserved Blocks

<pre>

<code>

<style>

Readable markup is easier to maintain

Consistent indentation exposes nesting mistakes and makes templates easier to review. Minification safely removes inter-tag whitespace and ordinary comments while leaving whitespace-sensitive and executable blocks intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does formatting execute scripts? +

No. HTML is processed as text and scripts are never executed by the formatter.

Is preformatted content changed? +

No. Pre, code, script, style, and textarea blocks are protected during formatting and minification.

Does minification remove comments? +

Ordinary comments are removed, while conditional comments are retained.

Is this a complete HTML standards validator? +

It reports parser-level structural issues; use the W3C validator for exhaustive standards and accessibility checks.
