Why Minify CSS?
Minifying CSS is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from the source code without changing its functionality. This includes removing whitespace, new lines, comments, and block delimiters.
Benefits of Minification
- Performance: Smaller file sizes download faster, improving your website's speed and Core Web Vitals scores.
- Bandwidth: Reduces the amount of data transfer used, saving costs on hosting.
- SEO: Google favors faster sites. Speeding up your CSS can help improve search rankings.
How this tool works
Our tool runs entirely in your browser. It parses your CSS code to identify comments, extra spaces, and line breaks, then safely removes them to output a production-ready file. The "Beautify" function reverses this process to make compressed code human-readable again.
