Frequently Asked Questions

Does it support SCSS, Sass, or Less? expand_more

It works best on plain CSS. Preprocessor syntax like nesting and variables may not be formatted correctly.

Can I choose the indent size? expand_more

How do I minify the result? expand_more

Use the [CSS Minifier](/tools/css-minifier/) to compress the beautified output.

Are comments preserved? expand_more

No, comments are stripped during beautification for cleaner output. Keep a commented source file separately.

Is my CSS uploaded? expand_more

No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
