CSS Formatter & Beautifier

What does a CSS formatter do?

A CSS formatter takes stylesheet code in any shape — minified onto one line, inconsistently indented, or copied from browser DevTools — and rewrites it with a predictable layout: the selector, an opening brace, one property: value; declaration per line, and the closing brace on its own line. Rules inside @media, @supports and @container blocks get an extra level of indentation so the structure is obvious.

Formatting is the first step when you need to debug a third-party theme, review CSS in a pull request or learn from another site’s styles. The formatter is powered by js-beautify and runs entirely in your browser.

Before and after

.btn,.btn-primary{display:inline-flex;padding:.625rem 1rem;color:#fff}@media (max-width:640px){.btn{width:100%}}

becomes

.btn,
.btn-primary {
  display: inline-flex;
  padding: .625rem 1rem;
  color: #fff
}

@media (max-width:640px) {
  .btn {
    width: 100%
  }
}

Note that the formatter does not add or remove semicolons, reorder properties or change values — it only changes whitespace, so the result behaves exactly like the input.

SCSS, Less and modern CSS

Nested rules, & parent selectors, variables ($brand, @brand), mixins and native CSS nesting are all indented correctly. Custom properties (--brand: #4f46e5), clamp(), :is()/:where() and cascade layers (@layer) pass through untouched.

Style conventions worth adopting

• Two-space indentation is the de-facto standard in most CSS style guides and the Prettier default.
• One selector per line in grouped selectors makes diffs smaller when you add or remove a selector.
• A blank line between rules improves scanning in long files.
• Keep formatting automatic: run Prettier or Stylelint in your editor and CI so formatting never shows up in code review.
