What is text minification?

Text minification is the process of removing unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and extra characters to reduce text size while preserving the actual content. It's similar to code minification but for plain text.

When should I use Normal vs Strict mode?

Use Normal mode when you want to reduce text size while keeping it readable (preserves single spaces). Use Strict mode when maximum compression is needed and readability isn't important.

Is my text data sent to any server?

No, all text processing happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device, making this tool completely safe for sensitive documents and content.

How much can I reduce text size?

The reduction depends on the original text. Text with lots of extra spaces, line breaks, or formatting can see 20-50% size reduction. The tool shows exact before/after character counts.

What are custom rules?

Custom rules let you fine-tune minimization: remove empty lines, trim leading/trailing spaces, and normalize spacing (multiple spaces to one). Combine these for tailored compression.

Can I undo minimization?

No, minification is one-way and removes whitespace permanently. Always keep a copy of your original text before minimizing if you might need the original formatting.

What's the difference between text minifier and compressor?

Text minification removes unnecessary characters but keeps the text readable. Compression (like ZIP) uses algorithms to encode data, which requires decompression to read.

Can I use this for code?

While you can use this for code, dedicated code minifiers are better as they understand syntax. This tool is best for plain text, content, and documentation.

Minimize Modes Explained

Normal Mode (Default)

Preserves single spaces between words for readability. Removes:

Extra spaces (multiple spaces become one)
Line breaks
Tabs

Strict Mode

Maximum compression - removes ALL whitespace including spaces between words. Output is single-line text with no spaces.

Note: Strict mode may make text unreadable but achieves maximum compression.
