Frequently asked questions
Does formatting change my markup?
Beautifying only adjusts whitespace and indentation; minifying removes comments and extra whitespace without changing structure.
Is my HTML uploaded?
No, formatting runs entirely in your browser.
Will minify break inline scripts or pre tags?
Minification is conservative, but always test output that contains whitespace-sensitive content like <pre>.
