04 · FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

The short answers — with the long ones one tap away.

How do I format HTML with this tool?+

Paste your HTML into the box, or drop in an .html file. Pick your indent size and any options, then tap Format HTML. The pretty-printed, color-coded result appears on the right, ready to copy or download.

Is my HTML uploaded to a server?+

No. Formatting, validating and minifying all happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device, so it's safe to use with private or sensitive HTML.

Can this tool find errors in invalid HTML?+

Yes. If your HTML has unclosed tags or mismatched elements, the tool reports what went wrong along with the exact line and column where the problem starts, so you can jump straight to the fix.

Can I minify HTML instead of formatting it?+

Yes. Tap Minify to collapse your HTML into a single compact line with no extra whitespace — useful for shrinking page size before deployment.

Can I sort attributes in my HTML tags?+

Yes. Turn on Sort attributes A→Z before formatting, and every tag's attributes are reordered alphabetically — which makes diffing two HTML files much easier.

What indentation options are available?+

You can choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or a tab character for indentation. Minified output ignores this setting since it removes all whitespace.

Can this tool fix broken HTML automatically?+

Yes. Turning on Auto-fix common errors closes unclosed tags, quotes unquoted attributes, and fixes mismatched elements before validating — which resolves many of the small mistakes that break HTML.

Can I convert HTML entities?+

Yes. You can decode HTML entities (like &lt; to <) or encode special characters back to entities, useful when embedding HTML in strings or templates.

Is this HTML formatter free to use?+

Yes, it's completely free with no account, no sign-up, and no limit on how many times you use it.
