Everything you need to know about formatting HTML

What does this do?

Reindents HTML markup with consistent nesting and line breaks, making the document's actual structure visible — which element is inside which — instead of a wall of tags with no visual hierarchy.

When you actually need this

  • Reading minified HTML pulled from a live page's source.
  • Cleaning up markup exported from a design tool or CMS before further editing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will formatting change how my HTML renders?

No — only whitespace and indentation change. Tags, attributes and content stay exactly as they were, so rendered output is identical.

Can I use this to shrink HTML for production instead?

That's the opposite operation — use HTML Minifier to strip whitespace and comments for a smaller production file.

Does this tool send my HTML anywhere?

Yes — the HTML you paste is sent to our servers to be formatted and the result is returned to you; we don't store the content itself.

Is there a size limit?

No hard limit for typical pages — very large HTML documents may take a moment longer to render.

Does it fix broken or invalid HTML?

It reformats whatever you paste, but doesn't validate or repair malformed markup — check unclosed tags separately if the source looks broken.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes — completely free, with no signup and no usage limits for casual use.
