CSS Formatter & Beautifier
Format, beautify, and minify CSS code with proper indentation for better readability.
About CSS Formatting
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the language used to style web pages. Properly formatted CSS is essential for maintainability, collaboration, and debugging. Well-formatted stylesheets are easier to read, understand, and modify. They help identify structural issues, improve code reviews, and make it easier to work with team members.
This formatter helps you beautify minified or messy CSS by adding proper indentation and line breaks, or minify formatted CSS by removing all whitespace to reduce file size. Whether you're working with framework output, legacy code, or production stylesheets, this tool makes CSS easy to work with. For production, minified CSS reduces file size and improves page load times, which is crucial for website performance and SEO.
Examples:
- Minified:
body{margin:0;padding:0} - Formatted:
body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
