JavaScript-Minifizierer & Verschönerer

What is JavaScript Minification?

JavaScript minification is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from source code without changing its functionality. This includes removing whitespace, line breaks, comments, and shortening variable names in some cases. Minification significantly reduces file size, which leads to faster download times, reduced bandwidth usage, and improved website performance. Our JavaScript minifier and beautifier tool provides both minification for production use and beautification for development, all processed instantly in your browser to ensure your code remains completely private and secure.

How to Use This Free JavaScript Minifier

Using our JavaScript minifier is straightforward: paste your JavaScript code into the input field and click "Minify" to compress it by removing unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and comments. The minified code appears in the output field with statistics showing original size, compressed size, and percentage saved. To make minified code readable again, click "Beautify & Format" to add proper indentation and spacing. All processing happens instantly in your browser using pure JavaScript, ensuring your code never leaves your device. Perfect for web developers optimizing websites, preparing code for production, or making minified code readable during debugging.

Common Use Cases

• Production Optimization: Minify JavaScript files before deploying to production servers
• Bandwidth Reduction: Reduce file sizes to save bandwidth and hosting costs
• Page Speed: Improve website loading speed by serving smaller JavaScript files
• Code Debugging: Beautify minified vendor libraries to understand their code
• Learning: Study minified code from websites by making it readable
• File Comparison: Format code before comparing to see actual logic changes
• Code Review: Beautify code for easier review and understanding

What Gets Removed During Minification

• All comments (single-line // and multi-line /* */)
• Unnecessary whitespace and blank lines
• Line breaks between statements
• Spaces around operators and punctuation
• Trailing semicolons where safe
