Beautify and Indent HTML

Minified or machine-generated HTML is almost impossible to read. This beautifier re-indents your markup so nested elements line up cleanly, making structure obvious and debugging easy.

What it does

  • Puts each tag on its own line
  • Indents children under their parent
  • Recognises void elements like <img> and <br>
  • Preserves <pre>, <script>, and <style> content

Great for debugging

When you copy HTML from a built bundle or a browser's view-source, beautifying it first lets you read the DOM hierarchy and spot unclosed or misnested tags.

Readable code, fewer bugs

Consistent indentation is not just cosmetic — it makes missing closing tags and incorrect nesting jump out visually. Beautified HTML is also far easier to review in pull requests and to hand off between team members.
