All interactive tools run entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
How It Works
Paste HTML code and choose between beautify (pretty-print) or minify mode. The tool tokenizes the HTML, identifies tags, comments, and text content, then arranges them with proper indentation or compresses them into minimal output.
Features
- Beautify mode: proper indentation with configurable indent size (2 or 4 spaces)
- Minify mode: whitespace removal, comment stripping, optional closing tag removal
- Comment handling: preserve or remove HTML comments in both modes
- Void elements: correctly handles self-closing elements (br, hr, img, input, etc.)
- Raw text elements: preserves script, style, textarea, and pre content
- CDATA sections: preserves CDATA blocks
- Inline elements: smart indentation that keeps inline elements compact
- Optional tags: optionally remove closing tags for li, p, td, th, etc.
- Statistics: input/output size, savings, tag count, comment count
- 5 example templates: basic page, nested list, form, table, commented markup
- Private: runs entirely in the browser — no data transmitted
