Frequently asked questions
What does HTML Compressor do?
Minify HTML by removing comments and collapsing whitespace to reduce page weight.
When would I actually use this?
Finding out how big a thing will be before you make it: how many gigabytes an hour of footage takes, how long a file needs on the connection you have, how large a photo prints before it goes soft, what bitrate fits the budget you were given.
What is the most common mistake?
Reading a figure in one unit next to a figure in another. Megabits are not megabytes and the eight-fold gap sinks most transfer estimates; a kilobyte is 1 000 bytes to a drive maker and 1 024 to the operating system; pixels are not dots per inch. None of it is hard arithmetic — the unit on each side is what decides whether the answer means anything.
How is HTML Compressor different from CSS Compressor?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions. CSS Compressor: minify CSS by stripping comments and whitespace to shrink your stylesheet's size. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
HTML Beautifier is the closest one after this: Turn minified or tangled HTML into cleanly indented, readable markup — or minify it.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder and ASCII Table Reference — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Byte prefixes follow the IEC convention where a kibibyte is 1 024 bytes and a kilobyte is 1 000 — drive makers use the second, operating systems often report the first, and a disk that shrinks on arrival is that gap and nothing else. Print sizing assumes 300 dpi unless you change it.
