Checked

Where Unminify is better

  • One box takes JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX/TSX, CSS, SCSS, Less, HTML, XML and JSON and detects the language itself, so you don't pick a tool first.
  • Formats with Prettier 3 (in a Web Worker), so the output follows Prettier's style, including JSX and TSX.
  • You can upload or drag in a file, load code from a URL (when that server allows CORS) and download the result. BrowserUtils' formatters work on pasted text.

Where BrowserUtils is better

  • Formatters for languages Unminify doesn't handle: SQL (with dialect options), YAML, GraphQL, Python, Go, Java, PHP and Rust.
  • Minifiers for the reverse trip (JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSON, XML and SVG). Unminify only expands code.
  • No third-party ads. Unminify shows two Google AdSense banners, one above and one below the editor.
  • Paste CSS, HTML, XML, JSON, YAML or SQL into the homepage box or the ⌘K palette and it opens the matching formatter with your code.
