About this tool

Minified CSS can be significantly smaller than hand-written stylesheets, which means faster downloads and quicker page rendering. This minifier removes comments, collapses whitespace and trims redundant characters — without changing how your styles behave.

When to use it: shrinking stylesheets before deploying a site.

Frequently asked questions

Will minifying change how my page looks?
No. The minifier only removes comments and unnecessary whitespace. It does not alter selectors, properties or values.
Should I keep the readable version too?
Yes — always keep your readable source, and use the minified version for production only. Minified CSS is hard to maintain by hand.
How much smaller will my CSS get?
Typically 15–30%, depending on how many comments and how much indentation you use. On slow connections every byte counts.
Does it remove unused selectors?
No — detecting unused rules would require analyzing your HTML. This minifier only strips comments and whitespace, so behavior never changes.
Can I minify several files together?
Yes — paste them one after another and save the combined result as a single production file.
Should I minify while developing?
No. Keep readable CSS while you work and minify once, at release time.
