What is SQL Formatter?

SQL Formatter is a free, browser-based tool that helps you make messy data readable. Token-based SQL formatter (dialect-aware). It's built for speed and privacy: Everything runs locally in your browser — your data is never uploaded to a server. No sign-up, no installs, and no daily limits.

How to use SQL Formatter

1Paste your SQL into the input panel or drop a file.
2Choose how it should look — indentation, pretty-print vs. minify, and structure options.
3Copy the formatted output or download it for use in your project.

Features

Toggle between pretty-print and minify
Consistent, configurable indentation
100% client-side — no upload, fully private
Free with no account, no watermark, and no daily limit
Works on large inputs, limited only by your device's memory

Common errors

Formatting is used before validating, so syntax errors remain hidden.
Minified output is pasted where humans still need to review it.
Tabs and spaces are mixed in a way that makes diffs noisy.
A formatter is expected to fix semantic data problems that require cleaning instead.

How it works

1Parses or tokenizes the SQL input.
2Applies consistent spacing, indentation, or compacting rules.
3Returns output without changing the meaning of the data.
