Reduces file size by removing unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and comments from your HTML code. The process happens entirely in your browser.
What Is HTML Minification?
Minification is the process of reducing file size by removing characters such as whitespace, indentation, line breaks, and comments that have no effect on how the code runs. Smaller HTML means faster downloads and better page speed.
Why Does It Matter?
Minifying the files served in a production environment noticeably reduces total bandwidth and load times, especially on high-traffic sites. Readable code is ideal during development, while minified code is ideal in production.
How to Use It
- Paste your HTML code into the left pane.
- Press the Minify button and check the savings ratio in the footer.
- Copy the result and use it in your production build.
Tip: Conditional comments (<!--[if IE]-->) are preserved. Always keep the minified code in a separate file and use the original for editing. Frequently Asked Questions
Does minification break how the code works?
No. Only whitespace and comments that carry no meaning are removed; the HTML structure is preserved.
Are inline CSS/JS minified as well?
This tool cleans up the whitespace in the HTML structure. For CSS and JS, we recommend using CSS Minifier and the related tools separately.
