HTML to Markdown Converter
Convert HTML markup (headings, links, tables, lists) to clean Markdown.
Every extra space, line break, and comment in your HTML adds bytes that browsers have to download before rendering your page. This HTML minifier strips out comments, collapses unnecessary whitespace, and trims redundant formatting to shrink your markup for production deployment, all while keeping the page's rendered output identical. It's used by frontend developers optimizing page load speed, static site builders preparing deploy artifacts, and anyone shipping HTML that doesn't need to be human-readable anymore. The minifier is careful with whitespace inside pre and textarea elements, where spacing is semantically meaningful. Since minification happens entirely in your browser, your markup is never uploaded to a server, and there's no signup required. Paste your HTML below to compress it instantly.

Frequently asked questions
What does HTML minification remove?
It removes comments, unnecessary whitespace, and redundant line breaks between tags, while preserving the actual content and structure that affects rendering.
Does minifying HTML change how the page looks?
No, minification only strips formatting characters that browsers ignore anyway - the rendered page looks and behaves exactly the same.
Why minify HTML before deploying to production?
Smaller HTML files download and parse faster, which improves page load speed and can positively affect performance-based SEO ranking factors.
Does minification preserve whitespace inside pre tags?
Yes, whitespace inside pre, textarea, and similar elements is preserved since it's semantically significant and affects how content displays.
Is my HTML uploaded when I minify it?
No, the entire process runs client-side in your browser, so your markup never leaves your device.
Can I convert minified HTML back to a readable format?
Yes, use the companion HTML Formatter tool to beautify minified HTML back into indented, readable markup.
Does it also minify embedded CSS and JavaScript?
Inline style and script content is trimmed of excess whitespace; for full compression, use the dedicated CSS Minifier and JavaScript Minifier on those blocks separately.
