Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What does an HTML Formatter do?
An HTML Formatter automatically organizes messy or minified HTML into a clean, structured format, making it easier to read, edit, and maintain.
2. What’s the difference between Beautify and Minify in HTML?
Beautify adds proper indentation and spacing to make your HTML readable. Minify strips out all unnecessary whitespace and line breaks to reduce file size and improve performance.
3. Will formatting affect how my HTML renders?
No. Beautifying or minifying only affects the structure of the code—not how it behaves in the browser. Your webpage will display the same either way.

Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your HTML is never uploaded or stored, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Yes! You can paste, upload, or drag and drop large HTML files. The tool can handle most file sizes efficiently, though very large files might take a moment to process.
6. Can I undo formatting if I change my mind?
Yes. You can re-paste your original HTML or switch between beautify and minify as needed—it’s fast and flexible.
7. Can I preview the formatted HTML?
Absolutely! The tool provides a real-time preview so you can see how the formatted code looks before copying or using it.
