Remove comments, collapse whitespace, and shrink your HTML files in seconds — no signup required, supports files up to 2 MB.
HTML minification is the process of removing everything from your HTML source that the browser does not actually need to render the page correctly — developer comments, extra blank lines, and redundant spaces between tags. The end result is functionally identical code that simply weighs less. For a real-world page with 80 KB of markup, minification routinely shaves off 15–35%, which translates directly into faster first-byte delivery and better Core Web Vitals scores.
Build tools like Webpack, Vite, and Gulp can automate this at deploy time, but if you work with a CMS like WordPress, a static site, or a quick landing page, pasting your markup here and grabbing the compressed output is by far the quickest approach.
Copy your HTML source from any file, template, or page editor and paste it into the input pane on the left.
Script, style, pre, and textarea blocks are preserved exactly as-is — only the surrounding markup whitespace is touched.
All HTML comments are removed automatically. IE conditional comments (the old <!--[if IE]> syntax) are kept intact since some legacy environments still rely on them.
Consecutive spaces, tabs, and blank lines are reduced to the bare minimum the browser needs to parse the DOM correctly.
You instantly see original vs. minified size, bytes saved, and percentage reduction so you know exactly what you gained.
Click Copy next to the output pane and paste directly into your server file, CDN upload, or deployment pipeline.
Largest Contentful Paint is a Core Web Vitals signal Google uses directly in rankings. A lighter HTML document reaches the browser sooner, which helps LCP numbers improve.
If you pay for bandwidth or run a high-traffic site, even a 20% reduction per page view adds up quickly across thousands of daily requests.
Mobile users on slower connections feel the difference. Smaller pages parse and render faster, which reduces bounce rate on mobile visitors.
Removing developer notes and internal TODO comments means sensitive hints about your architecture are not sitting in public view source.
Always keep your readable source file and minify at build or deploy time. If you edit the compressed output directly your next deploy will overwrite those changes with no readable reference left.
Anything inside a <pre> block or a <textarea> must not have its whitespace changed because that content is intentionally formatted. Our tool automatically skips these blocks.
Older enterprise environments sometimes still depend on the <!--[if IE]> syntax. A good minifier skips these; a careless one removes them and breaks legacy layouts silently.
Content inside <script> tags needs a proper JavaScript minifier like Terser, not an HTML whitespace tool. Concatenating JS lines without proper semicolons will break execution.
Always load the minified output in a real browser before deploying. Edge cases in templating engines or unusual markup can occasionally produce unexpected results.
