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.
What should I use these results for?
Use them for quick checks and comparisons. For critical decisions, verify with official sources.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It works on modern mobile browsers as well.
