JavaScript Minifier

Minify JavaScript with the same engine used in professional build tools. It strips comments, collapses whitespace, renames local variables and applies safe optimizations to shrink your code. Paste, press minify, and copy or download the smaller file — no upload needed.

Your JavaScript is minified locally in your browser and never leaves your device.

How to use JavaScript Minifier

  1. Paste your JavaScript into the box.
  2. Press “Minify”.
  3. Read the size saving, then copy the result or download it as a .js file.

About this tool

JavaScript files sent to visitors are a major part of page weight. Minification removes everything that is not needed to run the code — comments, line breaks, and long variable names — often cutting file size dramatically.

This tool uses a real JavaScript parser, so it understands your code instead of blindly deleting characters. If the input has a syntax error, it tells you rather than producing broken output.

Frequently asked questions

Will minifying change how my code works?
No. Minification changes formatting and internal variable names only; the logic and behavior stay identical. This is standard practice in production web builds.
What if my JavaScript has an error?
The minifier parses the code first. If it finds a syntax error it reports the problem instead of producing output, so you never ship broken code.
How much can I expect it to shrink?
Typical scripts shrink by 30–60%, more if they have lots of comments and long names. The exact saving is shown after you minify.
Does it also handle ES6/arrow functions and modules?
Yes. It understands modern JavaScript syntax including arrow functions, classes, template literals and destructuring.
Is my source code private?
Yes. Minification happens in your browser, so your code is never transmitted or stored on our servers.
