Does Minify remove CSS comments?

Yes. The minifier strips all /* ... */ comments before collapsing whitespace.

Does it handle media queries and nested rules?

The formatter applies regex-based rules and does not track nesting depth. Media queries and nested rules are formatted but may not have correct inner indentation.

Does it validate CSS?

No. The formatter applies string transformations without parsing the CSS. Invalid CSS will be formatted without error messages.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The formatting runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted.

About CSS Formatter

CSS copied from a minified stylesheet or generated by a build tool is a single unreadable line. This formatter applies a regex-based beautification: opening braces get a space before them and a newline after, each property is indented with 2 spaces and followed by a newline, and closing braces get their own line with a blank line after. Minify strips all CSS comments (/* ... */), collapses whitespace runs to a single space, and removes spaces around {, }, :, ;, ,, >, ~, and + characters. The output appears in a side-by-side panel with a Copy button. Front-end developers cleaning up vendor CSS, designers inspecting minified stylesheets, and anyone who needs to read or edit a compressed CSS file are the primary users. Runs entirely in your browser.
