What does a CSS minifier do?

A CSS minifier strips everything a browser doesn't need — comments, spaces, and line breaks — and can safely shorten values, producing a smaller stylesheet that renders identically. This tool uses CSSO, a well-tested CSS optimizer, for reliable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does minifying change how my styles look?

No — the output is functionally identical CSS, just smaller. Only ignorable characters and redundancy are removed.

Can I beautify it back?

Yes — paste the minified CSS into the CSS Beautifier to restore readable formatting.

Is it free and private?

Yes — it's 100% free with no signup, and everything runs locally in your browser, so your data is never uploaded to a server.
