CSS Minifier
Minify CSS online with CSSO: merge rules, remove overrides, and restructure stylesheets for smaller files, in your browser
CSS Minifier Tips
- Powered by CSSO - a structural optimizer that merges and restructures rules, not just a whitespace stripper.
- Overridden declarations are removed automatically: later rules win, earlier duplicates disappear.
- margin: 0px becomes margin: 0 and colors like #ff0000 become red where shorter.
- Load the sample to see rule merging in action - overridden properties simply vanish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Css Minifier formatting answered
Yes, completely free with no registration. All minification happens locally in your browser.
CSSO (CSS Optimizer) - a structural optimizer from the Yandex/Ozon ecosystem that merges selectors, folds shorthands and removes overridden declarations, going well beyond simple whitespace removal.
No. CSSO preserves the cascade: declarations removed are ones guaranteed to be overridden later, so the rendered result is identical.
No - those need to be compiled to CSS first. Feed the compiled .css output here for the final size squeeze.
Readable, well-indented CSS typically shrinks 40-70% thanks to whitespace removal plus CSSO restructuring. The size report shows the exact savings.
