JavaScript Formatter & Beautifier

What is JavaScript Formatter?

The JavaScript Formatter is a free online tool that beautifies and minifies JavaScript code instantly in your browser, making minified or obfuscated JS readable and properly indented. JavaScript from CDN libraries, production bundles, or third-party scripts is typically minified into a single dense line that is impossible to read or debug. This tool reformats that code with correct indentation, line breaks, and spacing so you can understand the logic, find bugs, and make modifications. It also minifies JavaScript for production deployment, removing all whitespace and comments to reduce file size and improve page load performance. Supports modern JavaScript including ES6, ES7, arrow functions, template literals, destructuring, and async/await syntax. All processing is done locally in your browser with no data sent to any server.
