CSS Minifier

Compress your CSS by removing whitespace, comments, and unnecessary characters — reducing file size for faster page loads.

What Does This Tool Do?

Large CSS files slow down web pages because browsers have to download and parse them. CSS minification removes all the whitespace, newlines, and comments that make code readable for humans but are unnecessary for browsers. The minified CSS works identically but takes up significantly less space.

Key Features

⚡

Instant Compression

Removes all whitespace, newlines, and comments immediately.

📊

Size Reduction

Significantly reduces CSS file size for faster loading.

✅

No Data Loss

Minified CSS is functionally identical to the original.

🔄

Reversible

Use CSS Beautifier to re-format minified CSS back to readable form.

How to Use This Tool

Paste your CSS into the Input box.
Click Convert to minify it.
Copy the minified CSS and use it in your production site.

How It Works

CSS comments (/* ... */) are removed first. Then all runs of whitespace are collapsed to a single space. Finally, spaces around CSS syntax characters ({, }, ;, :, ,) are removed, and trailing semicolons before closing braces are eliminated.
