Frequently Asked Questions
What does HTML beautify do?
HTML beautification reformats compressed or poorly indented HTML into a clean, readable structure with consistent indentation. It makes code easier to read and edit by adding proper line breaks and indentation for nested elements.
What does HTML minify do?
HTML minification removes unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and comments from your HTML, reducing file size. Smaller HTML files load faster, which can improve page performance and Core Web Vitals scores.
Does minification break my HTML?
No — whitespace between block elements is insignificant in HTML. However, whitespace between inline elements (like <span> or <a>) can sometimes affect layout. The minifier handles inline elements conservatively to avoid layout issues.
Are HTML comments removed when minifying?
Yes. HTML comments are removed during minification to reduce file size. If you need to keep certain comments (like IE conditional comments), consider using a dedicated build-tool minifier that supports comment preservation options.
Is my HTML sent to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using vanilla JavaScript. Your HTML is never uploaded anywhere and remains completely private on your device.
