Online HTML Formatter & Beautifier
Paste minified or messy HTML and click Format to beautify it with consistent, readable indentation. This online HTML formatter runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded — so it is safe for internal templates and production markup.
- Beautify HTML — turn one-line or inconsistent markup into a clean, indented tree
- Choose indent width — 2 or 4 spaces
- Preserve content — text,
<script>,<style>, and<pre>blocks are kept intact - Private — an HTML beautifier that works locally, with no upload
Format HTML, the safe way
The formatter re-indents tags by nesting depth without rewriting your content. Void elements like <br>, <img>, and <input> are handled correctly, and the contents of <script>, <style>, <pre>, and <textarea> are left exactly as they are so nothing breaks.
To see the markup rendered as you format it, use the HTML Viewer. To pretty-print structured data instead, try the XML Formatter or JSON to XML.
FAQ
How do I format HTML online?
Paste your HTML, choose an indent width, and click Format. The beautifier re-indents the markup by nesting depth and you can copy the result — all in your browser.
Does it change my content?
No. It only adjusts whitespace and indentation between tags. Text and the contents of <script>, <style>, and <pre> are preserved.
Is the HTML uploaded to a server?
No — formatting happens locally in your browser, so it is safe for confidential or internal markup.
