Removes HTML comments and reduces any run of spaces, tabs or line breaks to a single space.
Use cases

Type or paste the formatted HTML code.
- 2
Minify it
Click Minify and copy or download the compact result.
Technical details
- The contents of <pre>, <textarea>, <script> and <style> are left untouched: collapsing them would change preformatted text or break a script's // comment.
- One space is kept between tags, because removing it would join words from inline elements ("<b>hello</b> <i>world</i>").
- It doesn't rewrite attributes, drop quotes or minify inline CSS or JavaScript. For those, use the CSS minifier or a build tool.
- Legacy conditional comments (<!--[if IE]>) are removed too.
Frequently asked questions
Can it change how my page looks?
It shouldn't: it only removes comments and repeated whitespace, and leaves blocks where whitespace matters untouched. Still, check the result before publishing, especially if your CSS relies on whitespace (white-space: pre).
