CSS Formatter

Beautify and format your CSS code instantly

Tidy up your CSS with our free CSS Formatter tool. Make your stylesheets easier to read, debug, and maintain by formatting code with proper indentation.

Messy, minified, or copy-pasted CSS can be a nightmare to work with — especially in large files or team projects. Whether you're editing styles from scratch or cleaning up exported code from a page builder or theme, properly formatted CSS is essential.

The CSS Formatter tool takes your raw or unstructured CSS and formats it with consistent indentation, spacing, and structure. This makes your stylesheets easier to read, edit, and debug.

The CSS Formatter scans your stylesheet code and adds proper line breaks, indentation, and structure. It transforms flat, minified CSS into organized, readable blocks — ideal for maintaining or editing your styles with confidence.

It’s particularly helpful when working with:

  • Minified styles from production files
