About this tool
What does HTML minification remove?
Minification removes characters browsers do not need: comments, indentation, line breaks and repeated spaces. Whitespace around block elements such as div, p and li is removed completely, while spaces between inline text are collapsed to one so words do not run together.
Content inside pre and textarea tags is protected because spacing matters there. Conditional comments for old Internet Explorer are kept. The "remove all space between tags" option squeezes out a little more, but can remove meaningful spaces between inline elements, so check the result if you use it.

FAQ
HTML Minifier FAQs
Is HTML minification safe?
Yes, with the default options. The aggressive option can remove spaces between inline elements, so test the page if you use it.
Does it minify inline scripts?
Yes, when the option is on. Scripts of non-JavaScript types, such as JSON-LD, are left unchanged.
How much smaller will my HTML be?
Typically 10% to 30%, depending on comments and indentation.
Is my code uploaded?
No. Minification runs in your browser.
