What is CSS Minifier?
CSS Minifier is a tool that minimizes CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) file size by removing unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and comments. It helps improve website loading speed and save bandwidth.
Beautify mode allows you to reformat compressed CSS into a readable format with proper indentation, which is useful for code analysis and debugging. All processing happens in your browser and nothing is sent to external servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does CSS Minifier work?
It applies rules such as removing comments (/* ... */), removing unnecessary whitespace/line breaks, removing spaces around braces/colons/semicolons, and removing trailing semicolons to minimize CSS code.
Does CSS still work properly after minification?
Yes. CSS Minifier only removes unnecessary characters without changing the meaning of the code. Browsers interpret minified CSS identically to the original.
When should I use the Beautify feature?
Use it when debugging compressed CSS or analyzing code structure. It adds indentation and line breaks to improve readability.
Is the CSS I enter sent to a server?
No. All processing is done with JavaScript in your browser. The CSS code you enter is never sent to any server.
How much can CSS file size be reduced?
Typically, file size can be reduced by 20-50%. CSS with many comments or deep indentation will see greater savings.
