Common questions and answers about this tool
Formatted CSS is easier to read, maintain, and debug. Consistent formatting helps teams collaborate, makes code reviews simpler, and reduces the chance of syntax errors. It's a professional practice for clean code.
Minify CSS for production environments. Minified CSS loads faster because it's smaller, improving website performance. Always keep a beautified version for development and maintenance.
CSS minification typically reduces file size by 15-30% by removing whitespace, comments, and unnecessary characters. Complex stylesheets with lots of comments and formatting can see even greater reductions.
No. Formatting only changes whitespace and organization. The CSS rules and their effects remain identical. Both beautified and minified CSS produce the same visual results in browsers.
The formatter improves structure and readability but doesn't fix syntax errors. If your CSS has errors (missing semicolons, incorrect property names, etc.), you'll need to fix those manually.
This formatter works with standard CSS. If you're using SASS, LESS, or other preprocessors, format the compiled CSS output. Preprocessors usually have their own formatters for source files.
