What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications. It describes the structure of a web page using a system of tags and attributes, defining headings, paragraphs, links, images, and other elements.

Clean, well-formatted HTML is easier to read, maintain, and debug. Consistent indentation helps developers quickly understand the document structure and hierarchy of elements. Proper attribute ordering also improves code consistency across a project.

How to Use

Paste your HTML — Copy and paste any HTML code into the top textarea. You can also type directly or use the Example link to load sample HTML.
Choose options — Select indentation style (2 spaces, 4 spaces, or Tab). Toggle attribute sorting if desired.
Format or Minify — Click Format HTML to beautify with proper indentation, or Minify to compress into a compact form.
Validate — Click Validate to check for basic syntax issues (open/close tag matching).
Copy or download — Use the copy button on the output area or click Download .html to save the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is HTML validation the same as W3C validation?

No. This tool checks for basic well-formedness (matching open/close tags, proper nesting). W3C validation checks against HTML specifications (doctype, allowed elements, attributes, etc.) and requires a server-side check.

Is my HTML data stored on a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML code never leaves your device.

Does this tool handle PHP or other server-side code in HTML?

Generally yes. The formatter will preserve PHP tags (<?php ?>), template syntax (Blade, Twig), and other embedded code. However, for best results with mixed-language files, consider using a dedicated formatter for each language.
