FAQ

Common questions

Does this validate my code?
Not thoroughly — JSON is parsed and will show an error for invalid syntax, but HTML/CSS/JS/XML formatting is best-effort and may still produce readable output from slightly malformed input.
How is PHP formatted?
There's no dedicated PHP formatter here — it reuses the HTML beautifier with 4-space indentation, which works reasonably well for PHP mixed with markup but won't reformat pure PHP logic the way a real PHP formatter would.
Is my code sent anywhere?
No. Formatting runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.

Code Beautifier

Messy code is a headache to read and debug. Our Code Beautifier is here to help you clean it up instantly. Whether you're dealing with minified scripts, poorly indented HTML, or just a snippet that needs some love, this tool will reorganize it into a clean, readable format.

How to Beautify Your Code

1. Select Your Language

Click on the button corresponding to your code's language:

  • HTML
  • PHP
  • JSON
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • XML

2. Paste Your Code

Copy your code and paste it into the "Input Code" box on the left. Don't worry if it's all on one line or has inconsistent spacing—we'll fix that.

3. See the Result

As you type or paste, the tool works its magic. Your formatted code will appear in the "Beautified Output" box on the right.

  • Real-time formatting: We process the code as you work (with a slight delay to keep things smooth).
  • Clear & Copy: Use the "Clear" button to start over, or the "Copy" button to grab your fresh, clean code.

Supported Languages & Features

  • HTML: Fixes indentation, nests tags properly, and makes structure clear.
  • CSS: Expands rules, adds proper spacing, and organizes selectors.
  • JavaScript: Adds consistent indentation, spacing around operators, and handles braces.
  • JSON: Converts minified JSON strings into a structured, easy-to-read tree.
  • PHP: Formats PHP code for better readability (note: assumes standard PHP syntax).
  • XML: Organizes tags and attributes hierarchically.

Why Format Your Code?

1. Better Readability

Code is read much more often than it is written. Proper indentation and spacing make it easier for you (and others) to understand the logic and structure.

2. Easier Debugging

It's hard to find a missing closing tag or a syntax error in a blob of text. Beautified code highlights the structure, making errors stand out.

3. Professional Standards

Clean code is a sign of a professional developer. It shows you care about quality and maintainability.

Technical Details

This tool uses the powerful js-beautify library to handle formatting. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your code is never sent to our servers, so you can safely format sensitive snippets without worry.
