What is the CSS Formatter?

The CSS Formatter, also known as a CSS Beautifier, is a specialized tool that restructures dense, minified, or poorly aligned Cascading Style Sheets. When writing or copying CSS styles, formatting can quickly become disorganized, making it difficult to edit layout properties or fix display bugs. This tool systematically applies consistent indentation, bracing alignment, and line returns to make your stylesheets visually appealing and highly navigable.
