What is HTML Formatter?

HTML Formatter re-indents an HTML document so each nested element sits on its own line, making structure easy to scan. It's a text-based indenter, not a validator or parser — it won't fix broken markup, only make well-formed markup readable.

How to use HTML Formatter

  1. Paste your HTML into the Input box.
  2. Choose an indent size.
  3. Click Format, then copy the result.

Features

  • Indents nested elements based on tag structure.
  • Leaves <script>, <style>, <pre> and <textarea> contents untouched.
  • Correctly handles void elements like <br> and <img>.
  • 100% client-side — your markup never leaves your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my HTML uploaded to a server?

No. Formatting happens entirely in your browser.

Does this reformat script and style contents?

No. Content inside <script>, <style>, <pre> and <textarea> is left exactly as-is, since reformatting it could change behavior or displayed whitespace.

Does this fix invalid or unclosed HTML?

No. This is a text-based formatter, not a validator — it indents tags based on nesting but doesn't repair mismatched or unclosed tags.

Are attributes reformatted?

No. Attributes stay exactly as written on the same line as their tag — only tag nesting is indented.
