- Removes zero units (0px → 0)
JavaScript Minification Does
- Removes whitespace and comments
- Shortens local variable names
- Removes dead code
Size Savings
Typical CSS minification reduces file size by 20–40%. JS minification with variable renaming can reduce size by 30–60%.
When to Minify
Always minify production CSS and JS. Keep source (unminified) copies for development. Build tools like webpack and Vite do this automatically in production builds.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know
Q.Is CSS and JS minification safe?
Yes — minification only removes whitespace, comments, and performs safe syntax-level optimizations. The code behaves identically.
Q.Will minified code still work the same?
Yes. Minification does not change the logic or functionality of code — it only removes characters that computers don't need to execute it.
Q.How much does minification reduce file size?
CSS typically reduces 20–40%. JavaScript typically reduces 30–60% with variable renaming. Savings vary by codebase.
Q.Can I minify HTML too?
This tool focuses on CSS and JavaScript. For HTML minification, use a dedicated HTML minifier.
Q.Should I keep the original (unminified) code?
Yes — always keep source files. Minified code is hard to read and debug. Use minified versions only for production deployment.
Q.Is my code sent to a server?
No. All minification runs in your browser. Your code never leaves your device.
Q.Is this minifier free?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up.
