CSS Prettify Examples

Review practical CSS Prettify examples so you can understand expected input, output, and common patterns faster.

Why examples matter for CSS Prettify

Use this CSS Prettify tool to turn compact or messy CSS into a cleaner readable layout. It is useful for debugging copied styles, inspecting generated rules, cleaning one-line CSS, and making selectors and declarations easier to scan before editing or sharing.

Example pages are especially useful for developer tools because they show what good input looks like, what kind of output to expect, and how the tool behaves in common scenarios.

CSS Prettify examples

Prettify a one-line rule set

Input

body{margin:0;padding:0;}h1{color:red;}

Output

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

h1 {
  color: red;
}

Useful when CSS is compressed into one line.

Prettify nested-like media query block

Input

@media screen and (max-width:600px){.card{padding:12px;}}

Output

@media screen and (max-width:600px) {
  .card {
    padding: 12px;
  }
}

Makes media-query styles easier to inspect.

How to use these examples

  1. Paste CSS into the input box
  2. Click Run Tool to format it
  3. Review the indented readable output
  4. Scan selectors and properties more easily
  5. Copy the formatted CSS for editing or reuse

Common mistakes in sample input

Pasting broken CSS with missing braces

Fix: Check whether each rule block opens and closes correctly.

Expecting full parser-level correction

Fix: Use it for readability first, then review broken syntax manually.

Using CSS Prettify for SCSS or LESS-specific syntax

Fix: Review non-standard syntax carefully after formatting.
