What is the Code Formatter?

Written and maintained by the BitConvert team · Feb 27, 2026

Code Formatter beautifies messy or minified source code into a clean, consistently indented form that is easy to read and review. It supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML, applying language-appropriate rules for indentation, line breaks, and structure so nested tags, rules, and blocks line up predictably.

You control the output style by choosing an indent size of 2, 4, or 8 spaces, or switching to tabs, and the formatter applies your choice uniformly throughout the file. A minify option does the opposite, stripping unnecessary whitespace and line breaks to shrink code for production. Because formatting changes only spacing and layout, never the underlying logic, your code behaves exactly as before. All processing happens locally in your browser, so proprietary code is never sent to a server.

Key Features

Multi-Language Support

Beautifies HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML with rules tailored to each language.

Configurable Indentation

Choose 2, 4, or 8 spaces or tabs, applied consistently across the whole file.

Minify Option

Remove whitespace and line breaks to produce a compact version for production.

Behavior Preserving

Only formatting changes, so your code's logic and output remain untouched.

Common Use Cases

Reformat minified JavaScript or CSS you found online so you can actually read and understand it. Tidy up hand-written HTML before committing it to keep diffs clean. Pretty-print an XML config or API response to inspect its structure. Apply a consistent indent style to a snippet pasted from several sources. Minify a small script or stylesheet for a quick performance improvement without a build tool.
