CSS Beautifier

Is your stylesheet a single, unreadable line of code? Our Free CSS Beautifier is the professional solution for reformatting and "prettifying" your CSS.

What is a CSS Beautifier? A CSS Beautifier is a tool that takes unformatted, minified, or disorganized CSS code and reapplies standard formatting rules (like indentation and line breaks) to make it easy for humans to read and edit.

Does this tool support CSS Variables and nesting? Yes! Our 2026 engine is fully compatible with CSS Custom Properties (like --main-color) and standard CSS nesting, ensuring your modern stylesheets are formatted without errors.

Will beautifying my CSS slow down my website? Beautifying adds whitespace, which technically makes the file size slightly larger. For your live site, you should use our CSS Minifier. However, you should always keep a beautified version for your development work.

Can I format SCSS or LESS files? While this tool is optimized for standard CSS, it can handle most SCSS/LESS structures. However, for best results, use it on compiled CSS files.

How do I fix "unreadable" CSS from a minified file? Simply paste the entire minified string into our input box. Our tool will instantly "unminify" it, expanding it into a structured format that you can easily navigate and modify.
