Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started
What is a CSS formatter?expand_more
A CSS formatter takes raw or minified CSS and rewrites it with consistent indentation, spacing, and line breaks so it is easy to read and edit. It supports media queries, keyframe animations, and nested at-rules.
Is this CSS formatter free?expand_more
Yes. All tools are completely free and run locally in your browser. No signup, no limits, no hidden costs.
Does the tool store my code?expand_more
No. Your CSS code never leaves your browser. All processing happens locally on your device.
Features & Usage
How do I format CSS?expand_more
Simply paste your CSS into the input area and click the "Format CSS" button. The tool will add proper indentation and line breaks automatically.
Does this tool handle CSS custom properties?expand_more
Yes, custom properties (--var-name) are preserved as-is. The formatter only adjusts whitespace and indentation without modifying property names or values.
What about @media and @keyframes blocks?expand_more
At-rules like @media, @keyframes, @supports, and @container are properly indented with their nested rules for easy navigation.
Troubleshooting
Can I use this for SCSS or LESS?expand_more
This tool targets standard CSS3 syntax. SCSS/LESS features like variables ($), mixins, and nesting may not format correctly. Use a dedicated preprocessor formatter for those.
Can I use this tool offline?expand_more
Yes! Once you've visited the page, all functionality works offline thanks to service workers and local processing.
