JavaScript Minifier
Compress your JavaScript by removing comments, whitespace, and unnecessary characters for faster page loads.
Free Online JavaScript Minifier
Reduce your JavaScript file size by removing comments, whitespace, and unnecessary formatting. This lightweight minifier handles single-line comments (//), multi-line comments (/* */), extra whitespace, and blank lines while preserving string literals and regex patterns. For more aggressive optimizations like variable renaming and dead code elimination, use build tools like Terser or esbuild.
What This Tool Does
Removes all single-line comments (// ...) and multi-line comments (/* ... */). Collapses multiple whitespace characters into single spaces. Removes blank lines and trailing whitespace. Preserves string contents (both single and double quoted) and template literals. Maintains proper semicolons and line breaks where syntactically required.
When to Use This Tool
Quick minification of small scripts and snippets. Reducing inline script size in HTML pages. Compressing standalone JavaScript files without a build pipeline. Educational purposes — understanding what minification removes. For production applications with multiple files, use a proper bundler with built-in minification (Webpack + Terser, Vite, esbuild, or Rollup).
Frequently Asked Questions
This tool performs safe whitespace and comment removal. It preserves string literals, regex patterns, and syntactic structure. However, for complex code with edge cases, always test the minified output before deploying to production.
No. Variable renaming (mangling) is an advanced optimization that requires full code parsing. This tool focuses on safe whitespace and comment removal. For variable renaming, use Terser or Google Closure Compiler.
Comment and whitespace removal typically saves 20-40% of file size. Variable renaming (not done by this tool) can save an additional 10-20%. Gzip compression on top of minification saves another 60-70%, which is why both are recommended for production.
