Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I minify my CSS files?

Minifying CSS removes unnecessary characters and whitespace, reducing stylesheet file size and speeding up webpage loading times.

Will minification break modern CSS features like CSS Grid or custom properties?

No. Our tokenizer strictly preserves CSS variables, calc expressions, keyframe animations, and string literals inside URLs.

Can I un-minify and reformat previously minified CSS?

Yes. Switch to Beautify mode to automatically reconstruct structured declaration blocks and readable indentation.

Is my CSS code uploaded to external servers?

No, 100%. Processing is handled entirely within your local browser JavaScript engine. Your source code never leaves your device.
