Frequently asked questions
What does the CSS beautifier do?
It pretty-prints CSS with consistent indentation and spacing so stylesheets are easy to read, or minifies them to save space. The styles themselves are unchanged.
Does formatting change how my styles apply?
No. Beautifying and minifying only adjust whitespace and layout, leaving the selectors, properties and values identical. Your page looks the same.
Can it minify CSS as well?
Yes. It works in both directions, so you can expand CSS for editing or compress it by removing whitespace and line breaks to shrink the file. Minified CSS loads faster.
What library powers it?
It uses the bundled js-beautify library in your browser, so processing is instant and offline once the page loads. No server is involved.
Is my CSS uploaded?
No. All formatting and minifying run client-side in your browser, so your stylesheet is never sent anywhere. It stays on your device.
Does minifying CSS remove comments?
Minifying typically strips comments and whitespace to make the file as small as possible. Keep an original copy if you need the comments later.
Why should I minify CSS for production?
Smaller CSS files download faster and use less bandwidth, improving page load times for visitors. Beautified CSS is better kept for development and editing.
