Compact repeated whitespace inside HTML tags while preserving text, attribute values and embedded code. This conservative pass helps tidy tag formatting without collapsing meaningful spaces in a page.
How to compact HTML
- Paste HTML source or choose Load Sample.
- Select Minify Code and review the output and character counts.
- Copy the result and preview it in the context of your page before publishing.
Example
<div class="card">A B</div> becomes <div class="card">A B</div>. The extra spacing between attributes is reduced; the two spaces in the text remain unchanged.
Content kept unchanged
Text nodes, whitespace between elements, HTML comments and quoted attributes are preserved. Contents of pre, code, textarea, script, style and other raw-text elements are also preserved. This protects preformatted text, inline spacing, embedded JavaScript and CSS.
Limits and troubleshooting
This is a tag-spacing compactor, not a full HTML optimizer or validator. It does not remove comments or optional tags, rewrite entities, optimize assets, or minify embedded scripts and styles. Already compact markup may be unchanged. Unclosed comments, tags or quoted attributes produce an error; check the reported input and retry.
Do not remove spaces with a general text-cleaning tool before minifying HTML: whitespace can be significant. Use the JavaScript Minifier or CSS Minifier separately for code you can test in its original context.
Privacy
Processing happens locally as text. The supplied HTML is not rendered or executed by the tool and is not uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Are preformatted spaces preserved?
Yes. The tool preserves text nodes and the contents of pre, code, textarea, script and style elements.
Does it remove HTML comments?
No. Comments can hold templates, conditional markup or framework instructions. This conservative pass preserves them.
Why is the result only slightly smaller?
Only repeated whitespace inside tags is compacted. Text spacing, comments, quoted values and embedded code remain unchanged.
