Online CSS Pretty Print Tool
CSS Pretty Print expands a minified or single-line stylesheet into properly indented code with each declaration on its own line, configurable indent size, and optional colon alignment.
How to Pretty Print CSS
- Bring the CSS in: paste a compressed stylesheet into the editor on the left, drag a .css file onto the input panel, or click Upload in the toolbar.
- Pick the indent: choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or a real tab so the output matches the style your project uses.
- Toggle the layout: turn on Selector Per Line for comma-separated selectors, Blank Between Rules for whitespace between blocks, and Align Colons for vertical column alignment.
- Take the result out: Copy puts the indented CSS on your clipboard, Download saves a .css file ready to commit.
