Minify HTML, CSS & JS Online Free

Remove whitespace, comments and redundant code from HTML, CSS and JavaScript to shrink file sizes and speed up load times.

About this tool

HTML Minifier strips whitespace, comments and redundant characters from HTML, CSS and JavaScript, reducing file sizes without changing how the code behaves. Smaller files mean faster page loads, lower bandwidth costs and better Core Web Vitals scores. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your code is never uploaded to any server.

Minification is a safe, lossless optimisation: it removes only the characters a browser ignores — indentation, line breaks and comments — so the output behaves exactly like the original source. It is not the same as obfuscation or compression: your variable names and structure are untouched, and the file is still valid HTML, CSS or JavaScript, just smaller. Keep your readable source in version control and minify as a build step or before deploying, so the browser downloads the compact version while you keep working with the full one.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. This tool is completely free with no signup, no limits and no watermarks.

Will minifying break my code?

Minification removes whitespace and comments only, so the code behaves identically. It does not rename variables or alter logic, so nothing should break.

Can I minify HTML, CSS and JS together?

Switch between the HTML, CSS and JS tabs. If your file mixes languages, paste each section separately and combine the outputs.

Is my code private?

Yes. All minification runs entirely in your browser. Your code is never sent to or stored on any server.

What file extension should I use for the download?

The tool automatically sets the correct extension based on the selected language: .html for HTML, .css for CSS and .js for JavaScript.

How much smaller will my file get?

It depends on how much whitespace and how many comments the source contains. Heavily commented or deeply indented code can shrink by 20–50%; already-compact code saves less. Combined with gzip or Brotli on your server, minification gives the biggest wins on large HTML templates and CSS files.

Should I minify before or after gzip?

Both help and they stack. Minify first to remove characters the browser does not need, then let your server apply gzip or Brotli on top. Minified-then-compressed files are smaller than compressing the unminified source alone.

Do I need to install any software?

No. The HTML Minifier runs entirely in your web browser, so there is nothing to download or install — just paste your code and copy the result.
