HTML Minify (simple) Guide

Minify HTML by trimming whitespace.

Overview

Minify HTML by collapsing whitespace for quick sharing and compact snippets. Useful for emails, embeds, and small template fragments. Runs locally in your browser.

Use cases

  • Shrink an HTML snippet before embedding it in a CMS.
  • Clean up whitespace before sending markup in a support ticket.
  • Prepare compact HTML for a quick reproduction.

Common pitfalls

  • Minifying can break formatting for whitespace-sensitive HTML; test especially for emails and templates.
  • If you need production-grade minification, use your build pipeline (bundler) instead of a manual tool.

FAQs

Will it change HTML semantics?

It can for whitespace-sensitive contexts like <pre> or inline text nodes where spaces matter. Use it mainly for safe snippets.

Does it execute scripts?

No. It only transforms strings.

Is it the same as production-grade minifiers?

No. It’s intentionally simple. For production builds, use a bundler/minifier pipeline.

Will it remove comments?

This tool focuses on whitespace. Comment handling depends on the implementation details.

Examples

Input

<div>  hello\n  world </div>

Output

<div> hello world </div>
