Frequently Asked Questions
CSS minification is the process of removing unnecessary characters from CSS code without changing its functionality. This includes removing whitespace, comments, semicolons, and shortening color codes. Minified CSS files are smaller, load faster, and improve website performance.

Minify compresses CSS to reduce file size for production use. Format (or prettify) does the opposite - it adds proper indentation and line breaks to make CSS readable for development and debugging.
Depending on your original CSS, reduction can range from 20% to over 60%. Larger files with many comments and whitespace see the biggest improvements.
No, our minifier preserves all functional CSS properties. It only removes unnecessary characters like whitespace and comments. If you need to preserve specific comments, use the @preserve keyword.
