Input
Result
Private by design. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter or add is uploaded to any server.
How it works
- Paste the XML you want to clean up.
- Choose Pretty for readable indentation or Minify for a compact single line.
- Press Format XML. Copy the result when you are happy with it.
Examples
- Turn a one-line API response into indented XML for easier debugging.
- Minify a configuration file before embedding it in a smaller payload.
- Clean up hand-written XML that has inconsistent spacing.
Frequently asked questions
Is the XML sent to a server?
No. Formatting uses only your browser's DOMParser and XMLSerializer.
What if the XML is invalid?
The tool shows a clear error message instead of broken output.
Does it support namespaces?
Yes. Standard XML with namespaces is preserved during pretty-printing.
