Minifying strips the comments, line breaks and indentation that browsers ignore, so a page arrives in fewer bytes. Beautifying does the opposite and makes a one-line template readable.
Content inside pre, textarea and script is left exactly as written, CSS inside style blocks is minified too, and spaces between inline elements are kept so words do not run together.
How to use the HTML Minifier and Beautifier tool
- Paste the HTML or open a file.
- Choose Minify or Beautify.
- Copy the HTML or download it as a file.
Popular uses
- Smaller HTML emails and landing pages

Tips for the best result
- Minify a copy and keep the readable source for editing.
- Server compression (gzip or Brotli) saves far more; minifying adds a little on top.
