Free, no sign-up
No accounts, no limits, no watermarks.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does my code leave my computer?
No. Formatting, minifying and validation run entirely in your browser with open-source engines, so proprietary code stays private.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
