XML & SVG Beautifier & Minifier
Pretty-print raw XML/SVG tags with adjustable spacing, detect syntax errors, or compress XML documents client-side locally.
What are XML and SVG?
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is widely used for data storage, Web services, and configurations.
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics. Because SVGs are written in XML, they contain text-based tags representing paths, shapes, colors, and groups that can be styled, scripted, and optimized like standard markup.
Why Beautify or Minify XML/SVG?
Raw XML and SVG outputs from export scripts or graphic editors are often either minified (lacking lines and indentation) or poorly formatted. This makes troubleshooting tags, editing layout elements, or reviewing structure diffs very difficult. A beautifier restores visual clean structures by indenting child tags nested under parents.
Conversely, when deploying SVGs in production websites, you want them to load as fast as possible. A minifier strips out namespaces, comments, unused classes, tabs, and layout spacing, shrinking vector graphics and saving valuable bytes of payload weight.
Secure Local Markup Validation
Mismatched closing tags or broken attribute strings can cause websites or XML compilers to crash. Our **XML & SVG Beautifier** uses browser-based parsers to validate tags as you format them. No data passes over network connections, keeping your code structures, graphics, and proprietary data completely safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Beautifying adds tabs/spaces indentation and newlines to raw XML to make it human-readable. Minifying removes all unnecessary whitespaces and formatting to reduce the file size for transmissions.
The tool uses the browser's native DOMParser to parse your XML snippet. If the document contains mismatched tags, missing attributes, or syntax issues, DOMParser returns parsing errors which we catch and show in the error banner.
Yes. SVG is an XML-based format. This tool parses and formats SVG documents perfectly, aligning attributes and tags with custom indentation sizes.
