What is CSS Formatter & Beautifier?

A CSS formatter takes minified or messy CSS and reformats it with proper indentation and line breaks. Each property is placed on its own line, selectors and braces are properly aligned, and the stylesheet becomes easy to read and edit. This is useful for inspecting production CSS or debugging styles.

How to Use

  1. Paste your minified CSS in the input area
  2. The formatted CSS appears instantly in the output panel
  3. Each rule is properly indented with properties on separate lines
  4. Download the result as a .css file

Examples

Format minified CSS

Input.container{display:flex;align-items:center;padding:16px 24px}.btn{border-radius:4px;font-weight:600}
Output.container { display: flex; align-items: center; padding: 16px 24px; } .btn { border-radius: 4px; font-weight: 600; }

Format media query

Input@media(max-width:768px){.container{padding:8px}.btn{width:100%}}
Output@media(max-width:768px) { .container { padding: 8px; } .btn { width: 100%; } }

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as the CSS Minifier tool?

The CSS Minifier tool supports both minification and beautification. This CSS Formatter is a dedicated formatter-only tool focused on beautification, using a simpler zero-dependency approach for formatting.

Does it preserve CSS comments?

Comments are removed during the normalization step before formatting. If you need to preserve comments, keep the original CSS and use this tool only for reading minified output.

Does it handle CSS preprocessors (SASS, LESS)?

No. This tool formats standard CSS only. SASS and LESS have their own syntax (nesting, variables, mixins) that requires a dedicated parser. Compile preprocessor code to CSS first, then format.
