FAQ

Does formatting change my HTML structure?

No! Formatting only changes whitespace and indentation. Your HTML structure, attributes, and content remain exactly the same.

What is the difference between format and minify?

Format adds indentation and line breaks to make HTML readable. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace and comments to create the smallest possible file.

Can minification break my HTML?

No, HTML minification is safe. It only removes whitespace and comments. All tags, attributes, and content remain intact.

How much size reduction can I expect?

Typically 10–30% reduction depending on how much whitespace and comments your HTML contains.

Is my HTML data sent to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your HTML code never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.
