What is a SQL Formatter?

A SQL formatter is a tool that takes raw or minified SQL queries and reformats them with proper indentation, line breaks, and uppercase keywords for improved readability.

SQL Minifier does the opposite — it strips comments and collapses whitespace so the query takes up less space, which can be useful for storage or transmission.

Paste your SQL query into the input editor on the left.

Choose a mode

Select Format to beautify or Minify to compact your SQL.

When Does SQL Formatting Matter?

Formatted SQL is easier to review in code reviews, debug in production, and maintain over time. It helps teams follow consistent style guidelines.

For related tools, try the SQL Escape tool to safely escape special characters in SQL strings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this formatter support all SQL dialects?

The formatter handles standard SQL keywords and works well with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and SQL Server syntax.

Is my SQL data sent to a server?

No. All formatting is done entirely in your browser. Your SQL queries never leave your device.

What does minify do to SQL?

Minify strips -- and /* */ comments and collapses all whitespace into single spaces to reduce query size.
