Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the formatting styles?

Expanded puts each property on its own line with indentation, Compact keeps properties inline but one rule per line, Compressed minimizes all whitespace, and Nested provides hierarchical indentation for better structure visualization.

Will formatting change my CSS functionality?

No, formatting only changes whitespace, indentation, and line breaks. It doesn't modify selectors, properties, or values, so your CSS will work exactly the same way.

Can I format minified CSS?

Yes! This tool is perfect for formatting minified or compressed CSS back into a readable format. Use the Expanded or Nested style for best readability of previously minified code.

Does the formatter handle CSS comments?

Yes, the formatter preserves CSS comments (/* comment */) and positions them appropriately in the formatted output while maintaining their original content.

Which formatting style should I use?

For development, use Expanded or Nested for better readability. For production, consider Compressed to reduce file size. Compact is good for a balance between readability and space efficiency.
