Ever stared at a chaotic chunk of HTML code and thought, “I wish I could just keep the important stuff”? That’s exactly why we built HTML Cleaner—a minimalist, straightforward tool designed to quickly trim your HTML down to its essential semantic elements.

What does HTML Cleaner do?

Simply put, HTML Cleaner takes messy, bloated HTML and instantly strips it down to clean, semantic markup. It removes clutter such as unnecessary classes, inline styles, JavaScript blocks, and more, leaving you with clear, meaningful HTML that’s easy to read, maintain, and repurpose.

Why is this useful?

  • Cleaner Code: Keep only what’s essential, helping you and your developers easily understand and manage your HTML.
  • Reduced Complexity: Removing unnecessary code reduces the risk of errors, bugs, and makes debugging simpler.
  • Content Migration: Quickly convert HTML content to a clean format suitable for transferring between CMS platforms or integrating into apps.
  • Template Standardization: Get consistent, predictable HTML structure that fits neatly into your existing workflows.

How do you use it?

Paste your HTML snippet directly into the tool, select the options you prefer (like keeping classes, styles, or inline JavaScript/CSS if needed), and click “Clean HTML.” The tool instantly gives you a cleaned-up, trimmed-down version of your HTML, ready to copy, reuse, or embed.

Key Features:

  • Semantic-First Approach: By default, everything except essential semantic tags is stripped.
  • Flexible Controls: Keep attributes like classes, IDs, data attributes, ARIA tags, and inline scripts/styles with simple checkboxes.
  • Instant Minification: Optional minification compresses your output for faster load times.

HTML Cleaner isn’t here to replace your coding workflow—it’s here to simplify and speed it up. Whether you’re an experienced developer, a content creator, or just someone looking to make their HTML simpler, HTML Cleaner gets the job done swiftly and effortlessly.

Give it a spin—it’s fast, effective, and could become your favorite HTML helper in no time!
