Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool minify or beautify CSS?
Our CSS tool can do both! You can beautify a compressed stylesheet to make it readable for editing, or minify it to reduce file size for faster website loading times.
Does it support SCSS or LESS?
This formatter focuses on standard compiled CSS. While it may successfully format basic SCSS nested blocks, complex mixins or functions may not align perfectly.
Will it alter my CSS logic?
No. The formatter only adjusts whitespace, line breaks, and indentation. It will not reorder your media queries or alter specificity.
Can it remove unused CSS?
No, this is purely a formatting utility. To strip unused CSS, you should use a build tool like PurgeCSS in your compilation pipeline.

About the CSS Formatter Tool

The CSS Formatter takes minified or messy Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and beautifies them with proper indentation, spacing, and line breaks, making your styles readable and maintainable.

How to Use

Paste your CSS rules into the text area. The formatter will automatically expand the rules, placing each property on a new line and properly indenting nested structures.
