CSS Formatter

Beautify and format CSS code — expand minified CSS, add proper spacing and newlines.

About CSS Formatting

Formatted CSS separates each selector, property, and closing brace on its own line with consistent indentation. This makes large stylesheets readable, helps during code review, and makes it easier to spot duplicate properties or conflicting values. Minified CSS (one line) is ideal for production delivery but unreadable for development — this formatter converts it back to readable form.

FAQ

Should I commit formatted or minified CSS?
Commit formatted CSS to your repository for readability and easier code reviews. Use a build tool (webpack, Vite, PostCSS, cssnano) to automatically minify CSS during production builds. Never manually maintain a separate minified file — always minify from source as part of your build process.
