Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a beautifier and a minifier?
A beautifier formats code for readability, while a minifier does the opposite—it removes whitespace and line breaks to reduce file size. Use a beautifier during development and a minifier for production deployment.
Does it handle media queries properly?
Yes, it recognizes and properly formats all CSS @ rules (at-rules) including @media, @keyframes, @font-face, and more. Nested rules are also formatted with correct indentation.
Which indentation should I choose?
Follow your team’s or project’s coding conventions. 2 spaces is commonly used in CSS, and 4 spaces is also a good choice. Tabs offer the advantage of adjustable width based on personal preference.
