HTML Formatter & Beautifier
Format and beautify HTML code online for free
What is HTML Formatter?
The HTML Formatter is a free online tool that beautifies and minifies HTML code instantly in your browser, making messy or minified markup clean, readable, and properly indented. HTML exported from CMS platforms, build tools, or email editors is often compressed into a single line or poorly indented, making it extremely difficult to read, debug, or modify. This tool automatically restructures your HTML with correct indentation for every nested element, so you can immediately understand the document structure and find the tags you need. It also minifies HTML by removing all unnecessary whitespace, reducing file size for production deployments. All formatting happens locally in your browser — your HTML code is never sent to any server, making it safe to use with proprietary templates and internal projects.
