Comprehensive Guide & Technical Mechanics

About JavaScript Minifier — Free Online Tool

JavaScript Minifier removes comments and collapses whitespace in a script, and reports how many characters that saved.

Block comments go, then line comments, then blank lines and repeated spaces. Nothing else happens: identifiers keep their names, unreachable code stays, no expression is rewritten and no module is bundled, so treat this as a whitespace minifier rather than a bundler-grade one. The comment stripping is pattern-based and has no parser behind it, so if a script contains a // sequence inside a string or a regular-expression literal, compare the output against the original before using it.

Stripping happens in your browser, so proprietary source is never uploaded.

Shrinking a small standalone script on a site with no build pipeline, cleaning development comments out of a snippet before pasting it into a page, cutting down an inline script for a widget, and seeing what a file's comments cost in bytes.
