About

CSS Beautifier reformats compressed or hand-written stylesheets into clean, readable code. Paste any CSS — minified, concatenated, or just inconsistently spaced — and get back properly indented rules, one declaration per line, and optional blank lines between rule blocks. Choose 2-space, 4-space, or tab indentation, sort declarations alphabetically, or flip to minify mode to squeeze out every byte before deployment.

FAQ
What is a CSS beautifier?+

A CSS beautifier (also called a CSS formatter or prettifier) takes raw or minified CSS and reformats it with consistent indentation, newlines after each declaration, and spacing around braces — making the code much easier to read and maintain.

Can I use it to minify CSS too?+

Yes. Switch to Minify mode to strip comments, collapse whitespace, and remove redundant semicolons. The stats bar shows the original vs output byte size and the percentage saved.

Does sorting declarations affect how the CSS works?+

No. The order of independent declarations inside a rule (e.g. color, margin, padding) does not affect rendering. Sorting them A–Z is purely a style convention that some teams prefer for diff readability.

Will it break my CSS if it contains calc(), var(), or at-rules like @media?+

No. The parser handles nested at-rules like @media and @keyframes, preserves string literals inside url() and content, and passes calc() and var() expressions through unchanged.
