CSS Beautifier
Format and beautify CSS code instantly. Convert minified CSS to readable, well-indented code with customizable options.
What does CSS beautification do?
CSS beautification reformats minified or messy CSS code by adding proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to make it easy to read, debug, and maintain.
What indentation options are available?
You can choose between 2-space, 4-space, or tab indentation to match your coding style preferences and team conventions.
Is my CSS code sent to a server?
No, all formatting is performed locally in your browser. Your code never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Will beautification change my CSS functionality?
No, beautification only changes the formatting and whitespace. The CSS rules, selectors, and their effects remain completely identical.
Can it handle large CSS files?
Yes, the tool is optimized to handle large CSS files efficiently. It processes your code directly in the browser for fast results.
What is the difference between minified and beautified CSS?
Minified CSS removes all unnecessary characters (spaces, line breaks, comments) to reduce file size for production. Beautified CSS does the opposite — it adds formatting back for readability and development.
Does this tool support SCSS or LESS?
This tool is designed for standard CSS syntax. While it may partially format SCSS or LESS, for best results use dedicated SCSS or LESS formatters.
Can I customize the output format?
Yes, you can choose your preferred indentation style (spaces or tabs) and indentation width to match your project's coding standards.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, this CSS beautifier is completely free with no registration required. Use it as many times as you need.
Does beautified CSS affect page load speed?
Beautified CSS has a slightly larger file size due to added whitespace, but the difference is negligible. For production, you should still use minified CSS.
How to Use CSS Beautifier
Expand minified CSS into readable, consistently indented code right in your browser — paste, format and copy. Your stylesheet never leaves the page.
- Paste your stylesheet — even fully minified — into the Input CSS box; the placeholder body{margin:0;padding:0;} shows the kind of input it accepts.
- Under Indent:, pick 2 spaces, 4 spaces, 8 spaces or Tab to control nesting depth.
- Read the tidy result in the Formatted CSS area, where every selector, property and value gets its own line.
- Tick Minify Output when you need the reverse — the smallest one-line file for production.
- Enable Remove Comments to strip /* ... */ notes from the result before shipping.
The tool only reformats; it will not repair broken CSS, so check for missing semicolons or braces if the output looks odd.
