SQL Formatter & Beautifier
Format and beautify SQL queries online for free
What is SQL Formatter?
The SQL Formatter is a free online tool that beautifies SQL queries and scripts instantly in your browser, transforming long, unformatted SQL into clean, readable code with proper indentation and keyword capitalization. SQL queries from database logs, ORM outputs, or legacy codebases are often written as a single line or with inconsistent formatting, making them difficult to read, review, or debug. This tool automatically structures SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY, and other clauses on separate lines with consistent indentation, so the logic of even complex queries becomes immediately clear. It supports standard SQL syntax compatible with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and SQLite. Whether you are reviewing a slow query, documenting database logic, or preparing SQL for a code review, this tool formats it perfectly in one click.
