How to use the HTML Cleaner
What it does
The HTML Cleaner tidies up messy or bloated HTML. It removes unwanted inline styles, empty tags, comments, and editor-specific junk (like the code pasted from word processors), then formats the markup so it is clean, lightweight, and ready to publish. Cleaner HTML loads faster and is easier for both browsers and crawlers to parse.
How to use it
- Open HTML Cleaner under Tools.
- Paste your HTML into the input box.
- Choose the cleanup options you want, such as remove inline styles, strip comments, or remove empty tags.
- Click Clean.
- Copy the cleaned output for use in your page or CMS.
Reading the results
The cleaned HTML appears in the output pane, formatted and indented for readability. Compare it against your original to confirm nothing important was removed. The tool is especially useful after pasting from Word, Google Docs, or an old CMS, which often inject dozens of unnecessary style and span tags. Removing that clutter reduces page weight and prevents styling conflicts. Always preview the cleaned markup in your CMS before publishing to make sure the layout still renders as intended.
Credits
The HTML Cleaner is free and costs 0 credits. Tip: run pasted content through the cleaner before publishing to keep your pages lean and free of hidden formatting that can break your site's styling.
