1. What is the JavaScript Minifier?

A safe, lightweight JavaScript minifier. It removes comments and unnecessary whitespace but keeps line breaks where JavaScript's automatic semicolon insertion needs them, and never touches strings, template literals or regular expressions. For production builds with renaming and dead-code removal, use a bundler like esbuild or Terser.

2. How to use the JavaScript Minifier

Here is the whole process, step by step. It takes less than a minute from opening the tool to seeing your result.

  1. 1Fill in the Input field.
  2. 2Copy or download your result with the buttons under the output.

Press the "Copy output" button and your result appears on the page.

Everything runs in your browser — your files and text never leave your device.

3. What you can do with it

  • Run the tool with the "Copy output" button when your input is ready.
  • Save your result with the "Download script.min.js" button under the tool.

4. Tips for best results

  1. Your text never leaves your device — The tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so you can paste private documents without worry. That also means there is no account to create and no file to upload.
  2. It works on your phone too — Open the tool in any modern browser on Android or iPhone. The layout adjusts to the screen and everything works the same way on a small screen as on a desktop.
  3. Save your result before you leave — Use the "Download script.min.js" button to keep a copy.
