About Code Formatter

Code Formatter reformats JSON, CSS, or HTML entirely in your browser. JSON is parsed and re-serialized with 2-space indentation (invalid JSON shows a clear error), while CSS and HTML use simple pattern-based rules to add line breaks and indentation rather than a full parser. Only these three languages are supported — JavaScript, Python, Java, and others aren't available.

  2. 2Paste your code into the input box.
  3. 3Click 'Format' to reformat it.
  4. 4Click 'Copy' to copy the formatted result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it's completely free with no signup required.

Tips & Tricks

  • JSON formatting uses a real parser, so invalid JSON shows a clear error instead of a best-effort guess.
  • CSS and HTML formatting use simple pattern-based rules rather than a full parser, so unusual or deeply nested code may not indent perfectly — always review the result.
  • There's no auto-detect language or dark mode toggle — pick the language manually each time.
  • Copy the result right away, since there's no file download or save feature.
