Kotlin Formatter
Format and beautify Kotlin code with consistent indentation and clean structure
Kotlin Formatting Tips
- Use 4-space indentation as recommended by the Kotlin coding conventions.
- Place opening braces on the same line for functions and classes.
- Use trailing commas in multi-line collections and parameter lists for cleaner diffs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Kotlin Formatter formatting answered
Yes, our Kotlin formatter is completely free with no registration required. All processing happens in your browser.
Yes, our formatter properly handles Jetpack Compose composable functions with consistent indentation.
Yes, it correctly formats coroutine builders, suspend functions, and Flow chains with proper indentation.
No. The formatter only adjusts whitespace and indentation. It never modifies identifiers, types, or logic.
It follows the official Kotlin coding conventions with 4-space indentation and consistent brace placement.
The official Kotlin Coding Conventions (kotlinlang.org): 4-space indent, no wildcard imports (the IDE's Kotlin style bans them where Java's permits up to a threshold), and constant naming in SCREAMING_SNAKE or camelCase per the companion-object rule. Jetbrains' ktlint and the IntelliJ formatter follow the same document.
Function expression bodies (fun double(x: Int) = x * 2) stay on one line when they fit, with = spacing exact; when expressions break one branch per line with -> aligned in consecutive arms. Since Kotlin 1.4, comma-before-when-branch (multi-label cases) is used and preserved.
String templates ("$name is ${age + 1}") are never re-spaced inside the braces - they are expressions. The safe-call chain (user?.profile?.name ?: "default") keeps its operator adjacency (?. and ?: are tight), and !! stays glued to its operand; only the surrounding statement layout changes.
