SQL Formatter Free

Paste a query and get it back readable: each clause on its own line, joins and conditions indented, keywords capitalised. Switch to Minify when you need it on a single line.

Works with standard SQL and common dialects (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite). Strings, comments and quoted identifiers are never altered. Your query isn't sent anywhere.

Readable SQL is easier to review

A 300-character query on one line hides its mistakes. Putting SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY and ORDER BY on their own lines, one column per line and each JOIN with its ON condition, makes the structure visible and produces clean diffs in version control.

What it will and won't touch

The formatter tokenises your SQL, so string literals, quoted identifiers and comments are preserved exactly. It changes only whitespace and, if you choose, the case of recognised keywords. It does not validate the query or rewrite it, so a syntax error in your SQL stays a syntax error — only prettier.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which SQL dialects work?

Standard SQL and the common dialects — MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite — for everyday SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements. Vendor-specific procedural blocks may format more loosely.

Does it upload my queries?

No. Formatting runs in your browser, so queries containing table names or sample data stay on your device.

Why minify SQL?

To embed a query in a one-line config value, a log line or a URL, or to compare two queries ignoring layout.
