Auto-generated HTML — from a CMS export, a template engine, an email builder, or a web scraper — is rarely readable. Tags are nested inconsistently, indentation is absent or wrong, and attribute order is arbitrary. The HTML Formatter tidies all of that up: paste your markup, click Format, and get back clean, consistently indented HTML. The minify option works in reverse for production code; the validator catches structural errors.

Developers cleaning up generated markup, designers inspecting code from a no-code tool, content managers preparing HTML for a CMS, and anyone who needs to read or maintain HTML that wasn't written by hand — this makes it legible.
