What is a CSS formatter?

A CSS formatter beautifies stylesheets with consistent indentation and line breaks for readable diffs and reviews.

Paste compressed or inconsistent CSS to normalize structure—selectors, declarations, and at-rules stay semantically identical.

Formatting is for readability; it does not change cascade behavior.

How to use CSS Formatter
