Frequently Asked Questions

What is an INI Formatter?

An INI Formatter takes your INI configuration file and reformats it for better readability. It can add proper spacing around separators (beautify) or remove all unnecessary whitespace (minify).

What's the difference between Beautify and Minify?

Beautify adds consistent spacing around '=' signs and blank lines between sections for readability. Minify removes all unnecessary whitespace and comments to reduce file size.

Are comments preserved?

In beautify mode, comments (lines starting with ; or #) are preserved. In minify mode, comments are removed to reduce file size.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. All formatting happens directly in your browser - your configuration data is never sent to any server. Your INI files stay completely private and secure.
