Tool Description:
The CSS Minifier and Compressor tool is designed to help you optimize, compress and minify your CSS code.
Minification involves removing unnecessary characters and spaces from your CSS, resulting in a smaller file size and faster loading times for web pages.
This tool offers various options to customize the minification process according to your preferences.
How to Use:
1. Paste Your CSS Code:
In the textarea labeled "Paste your CSS code here...", paste your CSS code that you want to minify.
2. Choose Minification Options:
The tool provides several options that you can customize according to your needs:
- Comments:
Check the "Comments" option to strip out comments from your CSS code.
Description: This option allows you to control whether comments within your CSS code should be preserved or removed during minification.
Example:
Original CSS:
/* This is a comment */
body {
color: red; /* This is another comment */
}
Minified CSS (with "Comments" unchecked):
body{color:red;}
Minified CSS (with "Comments" checked):
/* This is a comment */
body{color:red;} /* This is another comment */
- Compact:
Check the "Compact" option to remove extra spaces and line breaks to create compact CSS.
Description: Enabling this option removes extra spaces and line breaks from your CSS, resulting in a more compact minified code.
Example:
body {
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 1.5;
}
Minified CSS (with "Compact" checked):
body{font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;}
- Indentation:
Check the "Indentation" option to improve the indentation and formatting of the minified code.
Description: When checked, this option improves the indentation and formatting of the minified code for better human readability.
Example:
Original CSS:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Minified CSS (with "Indentation" checked):
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
- Semicolon:
Check the "Semicolon" option to ensure that the last property in a rule has a semicolon.
Description: This option ensures that the last property in a CSS rule ends with a semicolon, which is a best practice in CSS.
Example:
Original CSS:
p {
color: blue
}
Minified CSS (with "Semicolon" checked):
p {
color: blue;
}
3. Minify Your CSS:
Click the "Minify" button to apply the selected options and minify your CSS code. The minified CSS will be displayed in the textarea below.
4. Clear Field:
If you want to start fresh, you can click the "Clear" button to clear the textarea.

Click the "Select" button to select the entire minified CSS code in the textarea. This can be helpful for quickly copying the minified code to your clipboard.
