How to Format CSS Online

Minified CSS is great for production but terrible for reading. Paste your compressed stylesheet into the editor above and click Format CSS. The tool inserts newlines after opening braces, closing braces, and semicolons, then applies consistent indentation so every property sits on its own line inside its rule block. Media queries and nested selectors are indented hierarchically. The output is clean, readable CSS that you can edit, review, or paste into a code editor without any further cleanup.

Why Format Your CSS?

Readable stylesheets make debugging faster and code reviews more productive. When you inherit a codebase with minified or poorly formatted CSS, a single click in this tool restores structure. It is also useful when inspecting CSS from a live website — copy the computed styles from DevTools, paste them here, and instantly see organized rules. All processing runs in your browser, so proprietary stylesheets and internal design-system code stay private. No account is needed and there are no usage limits.
