What is the CSS Minifier?
Paste your CSS or upload a .css file and shrink its size by stripping comments, collapsing unnecessary whitespace, removing empty rule blocks, shortening numeric values (like 0px to 0) and shortening hex colors (like #ffffff to #fff) — without changing how the stylesheet renders.
Every optimization is a toggle you control, and the result shows an exact before/after byte size with the percentage saved, so you can see precisely how much smaller your production CSS becomes before you ship it.
