Frequently Asked Questions
What does an HTML Formatter do?
It beautifies HTML by adding clean indentation, line breaks, and consistent spacing. This makes your markup easier to read, debug, and maintain.
Will formatting change how my HTML renders?
No. Formatting changes whitespace and layout in the code, not the meaning of tags and attributes. Your page should render the same after formatting.
Can it format messy or minified HTML?
Yes. Paste minified or messy HTML and the formatter expands it into a readable structure. If your HTML has syntax issues, fix them first for the cleanest output.
How is an HTML Formatter different from an HTML Minifier?
A formatter makes code easier to read. A minifier removes whitespace to reduce file size for production. Use formatting for development, and minifying for speed in production.
Is this HTML Formatter secure?
Yes. It runs 100% client-side, so your HTML stays in your browser and is not uploaded to a server.
