XML Minifier

Remove unnecessary whitespace between XML tags and produce a compact XML document.

How to Use the XML Minifier

Paste formatted XML and remove unnecessary whitespace and line breaks to create a more compact representation. This is useful for reducing size in generated files, logs or transferred payloads.

Practical Example

A multi-line XML document with indentation can be compressed into a shorter one-line version while preserving element names, attributes and values.

Factors That Affect the Result

Whitespace inside text nodes, comments, CDATA sections, mixed content and malformed XML can affect safe minification. Meaningful text spacing should not be removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does minifying XML change its structure?

It should preserve the XML structure while removing unnecessary formatting whitespace.

Can comments be removed?

That depends on the minifier's implementation and options.

Can I format the XML again?

Yes, use the XML Formatter to restore a readable layout.
