This formatter changes whitespace only. It never compiles, runs, validates, adds, removes, or renames code tokens.

Messy C code with collapsed indentation is hard to read, review and debug. The C Formatter fixes indentation, line breaks and spacing so your code is easy to follow again.

Everything runs in your browser, so your code is never uploaded to a server. Paste your code, format it, and copy the result straight into your project.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Paste your C code: paste code into the input box.
  2. Choose your indent size: pick 2 or 4 spaces per level.
  3. Click Format: your formatted code appears instantly in the output box.
  4. Copy or download: copy the result or download it as a c file for your project.

Why Use This Tool

Frequently Asked Questions

01.Is the C Formatter free to use?

Yes, it is completely free with no sign up and no limits. You can format as much C code as you like, as often as you like.

02.Does the formatter change my code logic?

No. It changes whitespace only, meaning indentation, line breaks and spacing. It never adds, removes, renames or reorders code tokens, and it never compiles or runs your code.

03.Does it change text inside strings or comments?

No. Text inside string literals, character literals and comments is left untouched, even when it looks like code.

04.Does it compile, run or validate my code?

No. It never compiles, runs or validates code, so it cannot tell you whether your code is correct. It only makes the layout readable.

05.Is my code uploaded to a server?

No. All formatting happens in your browser on your own device, so your code never leaves your computer.

06.What happens to preprocessor lines?

Preprocessor lines such as #include and #define stay at column zero and are never joined to other lines, so your directives stay exactly where they belong.
