Minify HTML while preserving preformatted content and meaningful inline spacing.

What this tool does

Whitespace in HTML may be part of inline text, and pre and textarea should be left intact. This page uses the mature analytic compressor and conservativeCollapse instead of global replace(/\s+/g, " ").

  • Ordinary comments will be removed, and conditional comments will be processed according to library rules.
  • The contents of pre, textarea, script and style are processed by HTML minifier on an element-by-element semantic basis.
  • This page does not additionally compress embedded CSS/JS to avoid implicit execution or rewriting by irrelevant parsers.

How to use it

  1. Paste the HTML.
  2. Click "Compress HTML."
  3. View results with UTF-8 byte statistics.
  4. Copy or download minified.html and test the page in your project.

Common uses

  • Reduce the deployment size of static pages.
  • Compare development vs. release HTML.
  • Remove safely removable comments and redundant attributes.

Securely compress documents using a proven HTML minifier and protect pre-formatting and inline whitespace semantics. It is suitable for daily development, debugging, data sorting and code optimization scenarios. The processing results can be directly viewed, copied or downloaded.

FAQ

Why can't you just remove all whitespace?

Whitespace between inline elements affects visible text, and pre/textareas are also left blank; global replacement breaks content.

Will the code in script and style be compressed?

The current configuration does not additionally minify inline JS/CSS and just lets the HTML minifier safely handle element boundaries.

Can the compression result directly replace the source code?

Mature tools reduce risks, but complex template syntax may have special constraints; the source code should still be retained and project tests should be run before deployment.
