Why minify CSS?
CSS minification removes comments, unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and redundant semicolons from your stylesheets. The result is a smaller file that browsers download and parse faster, improving page load times and Core Web Vitals scores. For large projects the savings can be significant — often 20–40% of the original file size.
When to beautify
Minified CSS is hard to read and debug. Use the beautifier to re-indent compressed stylesheets so you can inspect selectors, properties, and media queries at a glance. This is especially useful when inspecting third-party libraries or production bundles.
Privacy first
Your stylesheets are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded to a server, making this tool safe for proprietary or sensitive CSS code.
