HTML Minifier

Runs in browser Formatting

Compress HTML safely: collapse whitespace between tags, remove comments (except conditional ones), and optionally strip optional quotes — with size savings shown.

Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input never leaves your device.

How to use HTML Minifier

  1. Paste the HTML.
  2. Toggle the options you want (quotes removal is off by default).
  3. Copy the compact result and check the size savings.

HTML Minifier example

Minify a snippet

Frequently asked questions about HTML Minifier

Is whitespace inside <pre> and <textarea> affected?

No. Those elements keep their content exactly; only whitespace between tags and inside regular text is collapsed.

Which comments are removed?

Regular <!-- comments --> are removed. Conditional comments (<!--[if IE]>) and comments starting with <!--! are kept when "Keep conditional comments" is on.

Is removing attribute quotes safe?

Quotes are only removed when the value contains no spaces, quotes, =, <, > or backticks, which is valid HTML5. Leave the option off if your toolchain requires quoted attributes.

Does it minify inline CSS and JavaScript?

Yes. <style> content goes through the CSS minifier and <script> content (JavaScript types only) through the JavaScript minifier.
