How to format XML online

Paste your XML, choose Beautify or Minify, and select Format XML. This online XML formatter validates the document first, so mismatched tags and malformed markup are caught before a result is created.

Instant validation

See a clear error when the XML parser finds invalid syntax, missing closing tags or malformed attributes.

Your preferred spacing

Indent with two spaces, four spaces or tabs. Minify when you need compact XML without extra formatting whitespace.

Private by design

Everything runs locally in your browser. API responses, configuration files and other XML never leave your device.
