HTML Formatter

Yes. The formatter recognizes all standard void elements like <br>, <img>, <input>, <hr>, <meta>, and <link>. These are not treated as containers and do not increase the indentation level for following content.

Yes. The formatter preserves all inline styles and scripts. It only reformats the HTML structure - the content of <style> and <script> tags is left untouched. For formatting CSS and JS, try our dedicated CSS Minifier and JavaScript Minifier tools.

No. It only adjusts indentation and line breaks to make nested elements visually clear. All tags, attributes, and content remain exactly as you wrote them — just better organized.

Yes. The formatter handles mixed HTML/CSS/JS content. However, it only indents the HTML structure — inline CSS and JavaScript within style and script tags are left as-is.

Formatting makes HTML readable by adding proper indentation and line breaks. Validation checks whether the HTML follows the official specification. This tool focuses on formatting, but will preserve your HTML structure regardless of validity.

In production, minified HTML loads faster. Format (beautify) during development for readability, then minify for production. Many build tools like webpack or Gulp can handle both automatically.

The formatter uses 2-space indentation by default. Each nesting level of HTML tags increases the indent, and closing tags are aligned with their opening tags. Comments and DOCTYPE declarations are also properly aligned.
