Code formatting (also known as prettifying or beautifying) is the process of rearranging source code according to consistent rules for indentation, line breaks, and spacing. Formatted code is easier to read, maintain, and collaborate on — a fundamental standard in team development. Good code style reduces bugs and improves code review efficiency.

This tool supports formatting and minification for JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL, JSON, and XML. Language type is auto-detected, but you can also select manually.
Code formatting (beautifying) adds indentation and line breaks to make code readable. Code minification removes spaces, line breaks, and comments to minimize file size. Formatting is for development, minification is for production deployment.
The tool detects language based on code characteristics: JSON starts with { or [, HTML contains tags, CSS has selectors and braces, SQL starts with SELECT/INSERT etc., XML starts with <?xml, and the rest defaults to JavaScript. You can also manually select the language.
No. All code formatting and minification happens locally in your browser. Your source code is never sent to any server, ensuring code security.
No. Code formatting only changes the layout (indentation, line breaks, spacing) without altering the logic or functionality. The formatted code is functionally identical to the original.
