Free CSS Beautifier Tool – Academy of Digital Marketing

At the Academy of Digital Marketing, we develop practical tools to support developers, designers, and technical marketers in writing and managing clean code. Our CSS Formatter instantly takes messy, minified, or unstructured CSS code and formats it with consistent indentation and line spacing. Whether you're editing theme styles, debugging layout issues, or preparing code for collaboration, this tool makes your CSS easier to read and work with.

What is a CSS Formatter?

A CSS Formatter (also called a beautifier) restructures your Cascading Style Sheets by:

  • Adding proper indentation
  • Placing each rule and declaration on its own line
  • Organizing nested selectors and media queries
  • Removing excessive spacing or inline clutter

For example:

Minified CSS:

css
Copy
Editbody{margin:0;padding:0}h1{font-size:24px;color:#333}

Formatted Output:

css
Copy
Editbody {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

h1 {
  font-size: 24px;
  color: #333;
}
