SQL Formatter & Beautifier

Key features

• A real tokenizer walks your SQL, so quoted strings, double-quoted identifiers, backticks and bracketed names pass through completely untouched.
• Major clauses (FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY, LIMIT and friends) each start a fresh line, and every JOIN flavour gets its own indented line.
• Subqueries indent automatically: an opening parenthesis starts a deeper block and its matching close returns to the previous level.
• Choose Uppercase, Lowercase or Preserve keyword casing, and 2-space, 4-space or tab indentation.
• Line comments (-- and #), block comments and string literals survive byte-for-byte, so documented queries stay documented.

How it works

1. 1

   Paste your SQL

   Drop in a minified, wrapped or hand-written query — one statement or a dense multi-join SELECT. Live formatting re-runs a third of a second after you stop typing.

2. 2

   Pick casing and indent

   Switch keywords to UPPER or lower case for your team's style guide and choose the indentation width that matches your editor.

3. 3

   Copy or download

   Copy the formatted result straight to your clipboard, or download it as a .sql file. Line-in/line-out counters show how much structure you gained.

Tips for better results

• 💡The formatter is style-preserving by design: it lays out clauses and commas but never rewrites identifiers, functions or literals.
• 💡Semicolons split statements cleanly, so you can format a whole migration file of CREATE TABLE + INSERT statements in one pass.
• 💡If a query looks odd after formatting, check for unbalanced quotes or parentheses in the original — the formatter keeps them verbatim rather than guessing.
