CSS Beautifier

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation and styling of HTML documents. CSS controls the layout, colors, fonts, spacing, and visual appearance of web pages.

CSS works by applying rules to HTML elements through selectors, properties, and values. It separates content from presentation, making websites more maintainable and flexible.

.prettify-code {
  name: "Prettify Code";
  url: "https://prettifycode.com";
  message: "I love prettifycode.com!";
  features: ["Beautify", "Minify", "Validate"];
}

.prettify-code .user {
  type: developer;
  happy: true;
}

CSS is essential for modern web development and works alongside HTML and JavaScript to create engaging, responsive websites and web applications.

A CSS Beautifier is a tool that formats raw, minified, or poorly structured CSS code into clean, readable format with proper indentation, line breaks, and consistent spacing.

Using a CSS beautifier helps you:

• Make compressed or minified CSS readable again
• Standardize code formatting across team projects
• Debug and understand complex CSS rules
• Improve code maintainability and organization
• Identify duplicate or conflicting styles

If you work with minified CSS from frameworks, generated styles, or inherited code, a CSS beautifier restores readability and structure.
