The HTML Minifier is a free online tool that compresses HTML code to reduce file size. It removes comments, collapses whitespace, strips optional closing tags, and removes unnecessary attribute quotes to produce smaller, faster-loading HTML pages.
- Paste or type your HTML code in the input panel on the left.
- Adjust options like Remove comments, Collapse whitespace, and Remove optional tags.
- Click the Minify button (or press Ctrl+Enter) to minify.
- View the compression stats showing original vs minified size.
- Click Copy to copy the result, or Download to save as a file.
- Remove HTML comments (), preserving conditional comments.
- Collapse unnecessary whitespace between and around tags.
- Optionally remove optional closing tags ( , , , etc.).
- Remove unnecessary attribute quotes for simple values.
- Strip default type attributes (type="text/javascript", type="text/css").
- Preserve content in pre, script, style, and textarea tags.
- Compression stats showing original size, minified size, and savings.
- Upload files or paste code directly.
- 100% client-side — your code never leaves your browser.
- Is my code sent to a server?
- No. All minification happens locally in your browser. Your code is never uploaded or stored.
- Will minification break my HTML?
- The minifier preserves content in pre, script, style, and textarea tags. It only removes unnecessary whitespace and comments from the rest of the document.
- What are "optional closing tags"?
- In HTML5, certain closing tags like </li>, </p>, </td> are optional. Removing them reduces file size without affecting how browsers render the page.
- How much file size reduction can I expect?
- Typical HTML files see 10–30% size reduction depending on the amount of whitespace and comments in the original code.
