Frequently Asked Questions
What is CSS minification?
CSS minification removes all unnecessary characters from CSS code — comments, whitespace, newlines, and redundant semicolons — without changing functionality. This reduces file size and improves page load speed.
What is CSS beautification?
CSS beautification (also called prettifying) adds proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing to compressed or poorly formatted CSS, making it human-readable and easier to maintain.
How much can CSS minification reduce file size?
Typical CSS minification reduces file size by 15-40% depending on the original formatting. Heavily commented and well-indented CSS files see the largest reductions.
Is my CSS data sent to a server?
No. All minification and beautification is performed locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your CSS code never leaves your device.
