Shrink payloads safely

Minify JavaScript in the browser. Private. For dev workflows and asset prep.

All processing stays in your browser. Paste production-shaped samples without uploading secrets.

Minify vs prettify

Debug with formatted source; ship minified assets. Do not review minified diffs in Git.

Common mistakes

Minifying invalid input—fix syntax first.

Shipping minified code as the only copy—keep originals.

Expecting minifiers to fix logic or security issues.

Pro tips

Pair minification with gzip/Brotli at the CDN.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

?

Will minification change my code logic?

No. Our minifier only removes whitespace and comments. It does not perform 'mangling' or variable renaming, so your logic remains identical.

?

Does it support modern ES6+ syntax?

Yes, full support for arrow functions, classes, async/await, and the latest ECMAScript features.

?

Should I minify before or after testing?

You should always test your original source. Minification should be the final step before deployment.

?

Is my code secure?

Yes. All processing is 100% local. Your JavaScript is never transmitted to any third-party server.

?

What is the maximum file size?

We support JS files up to 50MB for real-time local minification.

?

Does it handle JSX?

This tool is for standard JavaScript. For JSX (React), use a transpiler like Babel first, then minify the output here.

?

Can I download the result?

Yes, you can copy the minified code or use the download button to save it as a .min.js file.
