HTML Formatter

Beautify and format HTML code for readability

Format and beautify your raw or minified HTML code with our free HTML Formatter. Make your code easier to read, debug, and maintain.

Raw HTML or minified code can be difficult to read and nearly impossible to maintain. Whether you're editing a webpage, reviewing someone else's work, or debugging output from a builder or CMS, properly formatted HTML makes all the difference.

Our HTML Formatter instantly structures and indents your code, making it cleaner, easier to understand, and faster to edit.

What Does the HTML Formatter Do?

The HTML Formatter takes unformatted or minified HTML code and reformats it with proper indentation, spacing, and line breaks. This improves readability and makes the code easier to work with, especially for:

  • Developers reviewing source code
  • Designers editing themes or templates
  • Students learning web structure
  • Debugging output from WYSIWYG editors

Why Use an HTML Formatter?

Formatted code is not just easier on the eyes — it’s easier to debug, maintain, and update. Use the HTML Formatter to:

  • Clean up messy or compressed HTML
  • Add structure to code exported from page builders
  • Make third-party code easier to understand
  • Improve collaboration by standardizing indentation
  • Prepare HTML for tutorials, presentations, or documentation

This tool is especially useful when you're handed a block of code that was either minified or copy-pasted from a non-code-friendly environment.

Features of the HTML Formatter

  • Automatic Indentation: Adds structured line breaks and tabs for clarity
  • Handles Complex Code: Works with nested divs, tables, lists, and scripts
  • Large Input Support: Format full-page HTML documents or snippets
  • One-Click Copy: Export your beautified HTML quickly
  • Optional Minify Toggle: Easily switch between beautify and minify views
  • Free and Browser-Based: No download, login, or setup required

How to Use the HTML Formatter

  1. Paste or type your HTML code into the input field
  2. Click “Format HTML” to see your code beautified
  3. Copy the output or continue editing it in real time

Formatted HTML is easier to manage in IDEs, CMS templates, or static sites — and makes your work look professional.
