HTML Formatter & Minifier vs FreeFormatter.com
Both pretty-print and minify HTML for free with no sign-up. FreeFormatter.com is a long-running collection of online formatters; Gera Tools' HTML formatter runs locally so your markup is never uploaded.
Both format HTML cleanly and free. If your markup contains anything you'd rather not paste into a remote tool — internal templates, draft content — Gera Tools formats entirely in your browser.
